Saints reject £15 million offer for Matt Targett

Southampton have reportedly rejected a £15 million offer from Fulham for defender Matt Targett, according to the Mirror.

The Cottagers have reportedly offered Saints over £15 million plus add-ons for the defender, who spent last season on loan at Fulham.

Targett made over 21 appearances for Fulham last season, helping Slavisa Jokanovic’s side to the play-off final, where a 1-0 win over Aston Villa secured Fulham’s return to the top flight after four years away from the Premier League.

However, Targett looks unlikely to make a return to Fulham, with Saints rejecting a big money move for the defender.

Fulham look to have secured another left back however, with Joe Bryan looking likely to make the switch from Bristol City to Craven Cottage.

The defender had a medical at Aston Villa, but Fulham’s interest in the defender saw him quickly make the drive down to London to secure a move to the Cottage.
