Southampton expect Jay Rodriguez to sign new deal

Ronald Koeman is confident Jay Rodriguez will soon sign a new and improved contract at Southampton.

A ruptured anterior cruciate ligament means it has been over a year since the 25-year-old last played, but that has not prevented speculation mounting over his future.

Rodriguez only has a season left on his contract and there have been suggestions that a summer move could be on the cards, with Tottenham, Manchester City and Liverpool apparently ready to test Saints’ resolve.
