Yoshida set to leave Saints for Saudi Arabia

Southampton defender Maya Yoshida could be on his way to Al Hilal as they have agreed a deal for the Japanese international, according to reports in Saudi Arabia.

Al Hilal president Sami Al Jaber claims that the defender will be announced in Riyadh soon, along with Quique Sanchez Flores as manager.

Yoshida has made 131 appearances for Saints since joining in August 2012 for £3 million, scoring nine goals.

The 29-year-old has made 27 appearances in a disappointing season for Southampton.

It is still unclear as to whether the centre back will be leaving St Mary’s with Southampton a Premier League club, as they continue to fight for survival.

Yoshida will be needed for the remaining three games as Mark Hughes’ men look to climb out of the relegation places.

They currently sit in 18th, one point behind 17th placed Swansea and just three behind West Ham and Huddersfield.
