Southampton supporters are united in the opinion that Flynn Dpwnes was a key member of the squad that gained promotion back to the Premier League, now they have some news from East London about his likely home next season.

givemesport.com have claimed that West Ham United have made a decision on Flynn Downes future.

They say that the Hammers are now willing to negotiate with Southampton about a permanent move to St Mary's.

"Russell Martin and Co could be successful in their pursuit thanks to Julen Lopetegui’s transfer plans they aim to bring in new players’ over the course of the summer transfer window - at least one of those being a midfielder."

That is good news for Saints fans, but little is likely to happen until after July 1st, as is per usual, most transfers are not conducted before then because of players due to receive loyalty bonus's on that date.

WestSussexSaint added 08:18 - Jun 7 Jesus - if we can get him for £25m that will be still a bargain given his importance to our team.

onetowatch added 10:18 - Jun 7 Nick, FD was more than just a 'key part' of the squad, he was pivotal. Our win record in his absence is proof of that. Importantly, he is a midfielder, prepared to carry the ball forward, commit defenders before releasing the ball, an ability that we have in limited resource in our squad, particularly without SA. In addition, he is a player capable of constantly putting strong tackles in and does the 'simple' midfield work very well. Overall, he's a greater asset than JWP could ever be, and, we all are realistic to how difficult next season is going to be, but if we have any chance at all, securing FDs'services would at least be a step towards giving ourselves a chance....
