• Liverpool reject Southampton’s loan bid for Mamadou Sakho
West Ham United are in advanced talks to sign Southampton’s José Fonte, although Slaven Bilic may have to beat off competition from Everton, as well as West Bromwich Albion, to land the 33-year-old defender.

He was again left out of Southampton’s squad for the 1-0 FA Cup replay win against Norwich City on Wednesday. Claude Puel admitted the Portugal international was weighing up “opportunities” to leave the club he joined in 2010 from Crystal Palace.
