Saints seek to steal De Cordova-Reid

Southampton have emerged as strong contenders to sign Fulham winger Bobby De Cordova-Reid, according to the Sun.

The Saints are seeking to boost Russell Martin’s attacking options on their return to the top flight and have identified the Jamaican international as a possible bargain signing. The 31 year-old could become a free agent as he has yet to sign the two-year contract that Fulham have put on the table – with reports earlier this summer suggesting that discussions between the Cottagers and De Cordova-Reid’s representatives had broken down.

The Sun says that Fulham are hopeful that the former Bristol City winger, who has scored 32 goals in 209 games for the club, will sign on to remain part of Marco Silva’s squad.
