Saints linked with move to sign Leeds’ Kemar Roofe

Southampton are among the teams to reportedly hold an interest in Leeds United forward Keemar Roofe, with Brighton and Burnley also in the running.

Pete O’Rourke reports for Football Insider that the Premier League trio are all interested in the player.

Roofe has enjoyed a fine start to the season with Leeds, scoring four times for Marcelo Bielsa’s side.

The club have recently entered contract talks with the player in a bid to ward off any potential suitors.

Leeds will undoubtedly be keen to keep hold of the forward, as they bid to reach the Premier League this season.

Southampton have looked short in the final third and Mark Hughes will be keen to add goals to his side during the January window.

The Saints currently rank among some of the lowest scoring teams in the league. Out of clubs outside of the bottom three, only Crystal Palace have scored fewer goals than Southampton.
