Southampton launch investigation into claims surrounding Eric Black

Southampton assistant manager Eric Black faces an investigation into his behaviour following allegations he advised how to bribe officials from other teams, the Premier League club said on Friday.

Black is the latest individual to be named in the Daily Telegraph's investigation into alleged corruption within the English game.

The newspaper's investigations team this week published information obtained during a 10-month probe into alleged corruption in British football.

The Telegraph alleged Black had offered advice to an undercover reporter posing as a businesswoman on how to bribe officials at other clubs for information on players.
