Saints look to sign Knol

Southampton are in talks with Dutch defender Ruud Knol.

The 26-year-old is currently out of contract and on the lookout for a new club, and joined the South Coast club on a two-day trial on Monday.

After an impressive showing in Southampton reserves' 2-0 victory at Woking on Tuesday night, Southampton boss George Burley is thought to be keen to add the defender to his squad.

Knol let his contract at Vitesse Arnhem expire this summer as he decided he needed a new challenge after seven years at the club.

The player had previously been linked with moves to Sunderland and Cologne.
