Saints eyeing Allen move
According to The Times, Southampton and Leicester are both interested in signing Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen this summer.
The Premier League duo are looking to sign Allen, with his game-time appearing to be limited under Jurgen Klopp ahead of next season. Allen has just one year left on his Liverpool contract and has been given the green light to find another club this summer.
The 26-year-old played just 17 Premier League matches last term, and is looking for a club that can guarantee him more regular football. Southampton could be just that club.
Victor Wanyama was officially announced as a Tottenham player yesterday as he sealed an #11m move to North London. This has now left Southampton with the task of replacing him, with Allen thought to be on the club’s wish list.
The Welsh international has been man of the match in all three of his matches at Euro 2016 for Wales so far, as he looks to play his way into a big move.
