Tello is an out & out winger too. Plays on the right mostly, similar to Redmond.

I reckon he'll be wanted @ Chelsea.

What if they sell Costa?

Martin Samuel chimes in: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3664725/How-Claude-Puel-better-bet-Southampton-Michael-O-Neill.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490

Boufal / Berahino / Ben Arfa Have we been searching for players with the "Technical skills" / "Goal Threat" / "Attitude Problems" filters ticked on the Black-box?!

Get French Football ‏@GFFN Arsenal, Chelsea & Southampton to meet with Sofiane Boufal's reps this week, according to @ed_aarons - the situation http://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2016/sofiane-boufals-agent-to-meet-with-chelsea-arsenal-southampton/

Would agree with this. Stoke must have been working on this deal since January. Needs to come from a more credible source before I take it seriously.

Get French Football ‏@GFFN Hatem Ben Arfa has agreed to a three year contract with Sevilla & will sign at the end of the week, according to Goal France.

PALACE IN FOR TOWNSEND Crystal Palace are set to activate Andros Townsend's £13m release clause, Sky sources understand. Newcastle are yet to receive an official bid from Palace but we understand that will come and the Championship club are bracing themselves for it.

I'm convinced Spurs will be in the race for him. Also, LOL @ Arsenal being interested in a creative No.10. They never sign those do they?!

The Sun running with the Berahino story too too: https://www.thesun.co.uk/uncategorized/1355150/southampton-set-to-gazump-stokes-16million-bid-for-west-brom-striker-saido-berahino/ Not sure on the credentials of either journalist. I'll probably get more excited if John Percy reports it - He's one of the best Journo's around that area. I assumed Stoke would be close to sealing a deal for him. Imagine replacing Gaston / Juanmi / Mane with Ben Arfa / Berahino / Boufal

Wouldn't be a bad idea to send Hesketh, McQueen or Gallagher down there too.

Crikey!! Hell of a signing!

I'm not sure how he passed the background/attitude audit from the black-box Very talented player in there if he can get his head straight.

Is there a current limit on number of loans from one club to another?

So possibly a City youngster who plays for a country that we haven't had a player from? Bersant Celina (Kosovo?)

"Liverpool are adamant the deal for Mane will not exceed £30million, inclusive of any add-ons as part of the negotiation which was agreed last week but delayed at Southampton’s request until they completed the £11 million signing of replacement Nathan Redmond."

Debunked Already! http://allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=19573

Expen$ive? It's not Musa is it? (Nigerian?)

Just makes it easier to buy our players

SOUTHAMPTON NEAR PUEL DEAL Talks remain ongoing between Southampton and the former Nice head coach Claude Puel as a deal to appoint him as successor to Ronald Koeman edges closer. An announcement confirming his arrival at St Mary’s will be made by the end of the week, according to Sky sources. The 54-year-old led unfancied Nice to within two points of Champions League in France last season and we understand that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger advised the Saints during the process.
