Southampton still want Nathan Redmond despite Ronald Koeman exit
That is according to the Southern Daily Echo, who claim the Saints' move for Norwich's Nathan Redmond is set to go ahead even without a manager in charge.
Ronald Koeman left the St Mary's helm yesterday to manage Premier League rivals Everton, where he penned a three-year deal worth £6million a season.
But that won't affect Southampton's pursuit of 22-year-old Redmond, who they're reportedly closing in on an £8m deal for.
The south coast side have long been linked with a move for the winger after they missed out on his signature when Norwich were relegated from the Premier League back in 2014.

And now Southampton are looking to finally land Redmond after the Canaries suffered another drop to the Championship, but face a host of competition.
Premier League rivals Stoke, Swansea and West Brom are also said to be interested in the England Under-21s international, who scored six top-flight goals last season.
