Saints face Saganowski fight

Skysports.com understands Southampton could face a fight to keep hold of Marek Saganowski.

Saganowski is considering his options after the end of his successful loan spell at St Mary's.

The Polish hit-man joined Southampton on loan from Troyes in January and he impressed as Saints reached the play-offs only to lose to Derby in the semi-finals.

Saganowski is keen to secure a permanent move away from Troyes and his form has alerted a number of clubs in the Premiership and Championship.

The player's agent Jaroslaw Kolakowski admitted a number of clubs were chasing Saganowski, but that his preference is to stay at Southampton.

"There are a number of clubs interested in Marek, but at this moment I am in negotiations with Southampton," Kolakowski told skysports.com.

"Some Premiership clubs and Championship teams have contacted me regarding Marek.

"Marek wants to stay in England and he wants to go to a good club.

"Southampton are a good club and they are his first choice as he enjoyed him time there.

"But if talks take too long with Southampton he could move to another club."
