Southampton agree club-record £21m fee for Lille's Sofiane Boufal - Sky sources

Southampton have agreed a club-record £21m fee for Lille striker Sofiane Boufal, according to Sky sources.

If the transfer goes through, it will break Southampton's previous record of £15m, which they paid Roma for Dani Osvaldo in October 2013.

The Paris-born 22-year-old can play as a winger or as a striker. He scored 11 times for Lille last season but suffered a knee injury in May which is likely to keep him out of action until September.

Boufal made his international debut earlier this year, featuring for Morocco in a 1-0 African Cup of Nations qualifying win over Cape Verde Islands in March.

Saints sold Sadio Mane to Liverpool in the summer, while striker Graziano Pelle moved to China, but Claude Puel has since brought in winger Nathan Redmond and now looks set to add Boufal to his striking options.

Meanwhile, West Brom have held positive talks with Southampton over a loan deal for Jay Rodriguez, with Hull also interested in the 27-year-old.

Former Saints boss Ronald Koeman is keen on bringing Cuco Martina to Everton from the south coast.

Southampton have confirmed the signing of Lille winger Sofiane Boufal and Sky sources understand the fee to be a club-record £16m.

The Saints agreed a fee last week for the Lille forward, which it is thought to have topped the £15m they paid for Dani Osvaldo in October 2013. Boufal passed a medical with the club on Monday.

After signing a five-year contract, the 22-year-old Moroccan international said: "I'm very happy and really excited to play in St Mary's Stadium in front of the fans.

"Southampton showed big interest in signing me and I can see that this club is the best place for me to continue my progression as a FOOTBALLER.

"I hope I can achieve many great things with Southampton. It is a very good club, with excellent facilities, and I feel it is the perfect environment to continue my development."

Southampton's executive director of FOOTBALL Les Reed said: "I'm absolutely delighted. He has shown his undoubted qualities in France over the past few seasons, and we are extremely confident he will successfully adapt to life in the Premier League.

"At just 22 years of age, he will undoubtedly continue to improve as a player, and we're very pleased that he will be able to make that progression with us here at Southampton."

Boufal impressed for Lille last season by scoring 11 times and adding five assists, but he picked up a knee injury in May and is not expected to be able to return to action until next month.

Southampton have lost forwards Sadio Mane and Graziano Pelle over the summer, although they managed to bring in Nathan Redmond from Norwich.
