The Daily Echo brings you a round-up of the Saints-related transfer gossip appearing in the media today...

Manchester United are closing in on a £25m deal for Morgan Schneiderlin, according to the Daily Star.

The newspaper claims that a £20m fee, with a possible £5m in add-ons, has been agreed with Saints and that talks with the player are now at an advanced stage.

They add that United boss Louis van Gaal made his move for the 25-year-old after admitting defeat in his bid to sign Bayern Munich's Bastian Schweinsteiger.

The Daily Mirror also report that United are getting closer to signing Schneiderlin, for a £24m fee.

They say United sources are confident a deal can be struck by the start of pre-season training, and that the player would sign a four-year contract at the club.

The Mirror also add that Arsenal's interest in Schneiderlin has waned after the emergence of Francis Coquelin, while Tottenham have admitted defeat in their pursuit of him, as they do not have Champions League football to offer.
