Saints supporters are wondering why Jannik Vestergaard has still not been announced as a Southampton player, her sis the reason why.

Saints had planned to announce Jannik Vestergaard on Wednesday as the latest signing, the player had completed his medical successfully and had agreed terms, but the issues are with Borussia Monchengladbach who are yet to give the final approval although they have agreed a fee with Saints.

Sources in Germany say the issue is solely with the Bundesliga club sorting out the final paperwork and that Saints and the player himself are all happy with the deal.

The transfer is expected to go through imminently and knowing Saints that means about 11pm this evening, so watch this space.

Santos added 17:02 - Jul 12 So assuming this happens, we still seem to be strongly linked with Marlon Santos. Santos would make it 6 CB's, surely one too many and someone would have to go.

underweststand added 18:34 - Jul 12 For those who think signing a new player is just to agree a fee with the club, a salary with the player and then sign on the dotted line (all three copies) ...this is another illustration of all the bureaucracy involved with international clearances. Fortunately, all the countries involved are EU members (prior to Brexit, that is )...so there won't be delays over work permits , etc. and it's just a matter of time before the paperwork ends up on someone's desk..or until he returns from holiday. So let's be patient ....a little longer .

highfield49 added 08:22 - Jul 13 Like IWOZTHERE I have concerns that all seems not to be going to plan with the signing announcement. Media reports saying that Spurs are open to Alderweireld leaving the club might indicate that they have a signing in the pipeline. Let's hope our concerns are unfounded.
