Southampton step up their pursuit of Brest left back Romain Perraud as they hold further talks over a deal for the £12m-rated defender

Southampton have held further talks over a deal for Stade Brest left back Romain Perraud.

The 23-year-old, who has represented France from Under 17 through to U20 level, was a target for Leeds also and is valued around £12million.

Southampton have been keen to strengthen their full back options for some time and their need for a new left back has increased with Ryan Bertrand leaving when his contract expires this month.
