Southampton are reportedly set to announce a transfer deal to sign Dutch midfielder Jordy Clasie within the coming hours.

Clasie was tipped to join the Saints if Morgan Schneiderlin moved to Manchester United and, with the France international now on his way to Old Trafford in a deal worth around £27m, the path is clear for the Feyenoord ace to head to Southampton.

According to reports, Southampton have fought off competition from Premier League rivals Newcastle to land the 24-year-old, who is seen as a straight replacement for Schneiderlin.

The fee is believed to be in the region of £8m and the move would see Saints boss Ronald Koeman, who managed the Dutch outfit from 2011-2014, reunited with the Feyenoord captain.
