Southampton have suffered a blow in their pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain defender Stanley N’Soki after their loan offer was rejected by the Ligue 1 champions.
According to Get French Football News, Saints made a verbal offer to sign N’Soki on loan but saw their approach turned down by PSG.

The defender only has one-year remaining on his current deal with the French giants, and would reportedly need to extend his contract in order for Saints to complete a loan move.
However, the report suggests N’Soki is looking for a permanent move away from PSG this summer and Newcastle are said to be the favourites to land the 20-year-old.
The Magpies have reportedly made an €8million bid for the defender, who is also said to be a target for Serie A duo AS Roma and Lazio.
