Southampton vow to help FA and Premier League in connection with Eric Black revelation

Southampton say they have contacted the Football Association and the Premier League and "intend to work closely with both bodies on this matter when the facts become clear".

Southampton have pledged to assist the Football Association and Premier League after releasing a statement saying assistant manager Eric Black was to be named in the Daily Telegraph's ongoing investigations into football.

Saints pre-empted the newspapers' latest round of articles under the strapline 'Football For Sale' by saying they had requested details from the Telegraph - a request they said had been turned down.
