SAINTS have confirmed that Japanese international Tadanari Lee is set to join the club.

The 26-year-old striker has arrived in England and will train with the first-team squad, while his application for a work permit is reviewed.

Lee has been capped ten times for his country, and scored the extra-time winner in last January's Asian Cup final, as Japan beat Australia 1-0.

Lee will sign from J League division one side Sanfrecce Hiroshima, who he scored 15 goals for last season.
