Joe Aribo 'wants' Southampton exit amid Martin Rangers link
There has been speculation around the future of the former Rangers midfielder all year with reports in January suggesting he had told the club then he would like to move on. And, following Saints' relegation from the Premier League, it is believed he has made his intentions known to them. Turkish outlet Sabah are reporting Trabzonspor have submitted an offer and been granted permission to speak to the player, with Aribo's wish to leave clear. Trbazon are also said to be interested in his Southampton teammates Paul Onuachu and Kamaldeen Sulemana. Aribo is contracted until next summer. Read more: Former Rangers manager calls for 'stability' at Ibrox Cantwell backs Martin as Rangers boss after 'exciting times' claim His former Rangers teammates Borna Barisic and John Lundstram are at the Turkish side but both could be on the way out amid a mass clearout. Aribo was a key player under newly-appointed Gers boss Russell Martin at St Mary's as they won promotion from the Championship, and continued to be a regular as they toiled in the Premier League. Following his £10m move from Ibrox, the Nigeria international had been struggling for game time until the manager's arrival from Swansea. That relationship has fans wondering if that could open up the possibility of a return to Rangers for the 28-year-old.

Pick your Southampton player of the season
We asked our Southampton fan contributor for their four candidates for player of the season and you can now select your top one. Aaron RamsdaleThe biggest shock of our season was the signing of Ramsdale. At £25m from Arsenal in August, it was very much against the grain under this current ownership group. Considering Saints have conceded 84 goals (and counting) he has managed to earn an England call-up. Even with a third relegation on his FernandesThere are many misses in the market in recent years, but Fernandes isn't one of them. The 20 year-old has become an instant fan favourite with the locals for his eye-catching performances in the middle of the park. Unfortunately, following relegation consequences, he will be one of the casualties - apparently attracting interest from OnuachuSince arriving in February 2023, the 6ft7in Nigerian has had a handful of games and been sent out on loan for our whole Championship campaign last season. He was out of favour under Russell Martin, but started Ivan Juric's first game. Since January, when fit, he has been a solid edition to the squad and has become the club's top-scorer this season with four DiblingBack in August, no-one envisaged the then 18-year old would have made an impact on this Premier League campaign. But that is what he has done. The most exciting player on the ball we have seen in some time. In a season full of despair, he continues to get bums off seats when driving forward. Attracting interest from all over the league, his future is bright. Unfortunately, not with your 2024-25 Southampton player of the season from our shortlist hereAnd tell us why you're picking who you are, or why you'd have gone for another player not on the list, here Find more from Ray Hunt at the In that Number podcast, external

Rusk on squad fitness, Stewart and Leicester City
Simon Rusk has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game at Leicester City (kick-off 15:00).Here are the key lines from his news conference:On his squad's fitness: "Paul Onuachu has been training the last few days so he's back in the mix. We have a pretty clean bill of health at the moment."On their most recent game against Fulham: "Lots of really good things to build on. The first half we did really well to get ourselves ahead. It ended up a difficult one to take. But as I've spoken about, it's about making sure we find the balance of looking like a hard team to beat and having a footprint in the game. It was really nice to get a set-piece goal as well."On Ross Stewart, who made his first Southampton start in 203 days against Fulham: "I thought he did great. For how long he's been out, starting the game, and it was an intense game too. For him to get through it and be training again this week to try get in the starting team again on Saturday, what a great thing for him and a real positive from the day."On opponents Leicester: "They're a team that have some versatility to the way they play. Just like us, they will be drumming home that there's pride at stake. There's no easy Premier League games and although they may have had some difficult home form, they've picked up some decent results away from home. For us, it's about going in on the front foot and making sure we're in the best nick to beat our opponent."On if they would play a more attacking style against relegated opposition: "We have to be realistic about the situation I inherited. We've had some difficult results, we are bottom of the league, and we were never going to become solid and be dominant in the game. If we did that when I came in with seven games to go, I'd probably be able to bring world peace as well. I've had to pick a way for this team to play based on the evidence of the season."On Adam Lallana's future: "In terms of a playing decision, that's solely with him at the minute. Building up to this game he's on the coaching staff and that'll be a similar format this weekend as well."Follow all of Thursday's Premier League news conferences and the rest of the day's football news

How to watch Leicester vs Southampton live: Stream link, TV channel, team news, prediction
Two already-relegated teams square off on Saturday as Leicester City host Southampton at the King Power Stadium. WATCH — Leicester v Southampton Ruud van Nistelrooy's side have been in woeful form for several months and their relegation was confirmed two weeks ago with their home defeat to Liverpool. With the news that Jamie Vardy is leaving Leicester at the end of this season, this is his penultimate home game for the Foxes and it will be an emotional few weeks for their legendary striker. Leicester lost 3-0 at Wolves last weekend and they've lost 17 of their last 19 Premier League games as they sit second bottom of the table on 18 points. Advertisement The only team below Leicester is Southampton, with the Saints on 11 points and they need one more point from their remaining four games to not be known as the team with the joint-worst points tally in a season in Premier League history. They led 1-0 at home against Fulham until late on last weekend but lost 2-1 as interim manager Simon Rusk has made them more pragmatic and less adventurous and perhaps playing that way would have seen Saints pick up plenty more points this season. How to watch Leicester vs Southampton live, stream link and start time Kick off time: 10am ET Saturday (May 3) Venue: King Power Stadium — Leicester TV Channel: Peacock Streaming: Stream live on Peacock Leicester team news, focus The Foxes are trying to become tougher to beat but they've really lost any attacking edge as they've scored just two goals in their last 11 Premier League games. Vardy will be desperate to finish his time at Leicester on a high, while there are plenty of players playing for their future and there is also plenty of uncertainty around whether or not Ruud van Nistelrooy will be in charge next season in the Championship. Advertisement OUT: Bobby De Cordova-Reid (muscular), Facundo Buonanotte (head), Ricardo Pereira (muscular), Stephy Mavididi (muscular), Harry Winks (club discipline), Abdul Fatawu (knee - out for season) Southampton team news, focus Saints will start Scottish forward Ross Stewart up top if Paul Onuachu isn't fit. The rest of the team is pretty settled at this point in a 3-4-2-1 formation. The likes of Aaron Ramsdale, Tyler Dibling and Mateus Fernandes are all primed for moves to Premier League clubs this summer, while full back Kyle Walker-Peters is out of contract this summer and will also surely be heading back to the Premier League. OUT: Albert Gronbaek (calf) | QUESTIONABLE: Paul Onuachu (ankle), Charlie Taylor (hip) Leicester vs Southampton prediction This feels like it will end in a draw and both teams will be happy enough with that. Leicester 1-1 Southampton.
