Hij is inmiddels al 24 jaar en speelt voor Iraklis Saloniki, niet bepaald een topclub. Dat clubs als Roda JC en Twente zich hebben gemeld zegt genoeg over zijn huidige status.

Het zou wel leuk zijn overigens als hij in Nederland komt voetballen.

Southampton maakt al weinig gebruik van Beattie. Onbegrijpelijk als je het mij vraagt. Ormerod en Crouch zijn prima First Division spelers, maar kunnen op basis van hun kwaliteiten niet tippen aan Beattie. Al is 9 miljoen wel een hele smak geld voor The Saints.

UPDATE: Volgens het Vlaamse tv-station TVL is N'Kufo niet meer in de picture, en is de aandacht nu verschoven naar een Servische aanvaller. Genk zou momenteel in Belgrado onderhandelingen voeren met deze speler.

Geld is altijd een goede drijfveer voor een transfer. Mendoza is niet naar de Oekraine gegaan bijvoorbeeld omdat hij die competitie zo geweldig vindt.

Saints look at Xavier and Nyarko

Free agents Abel Xavier and Alex Nyarko are both due to begin training with Southampton on Monday with a view to joining until the end of the season.Former Everton and Liverpool defender Xavier, 32, was released by German side Hannover earlier this season. Last week 31-year-old midfielder Nyarko, who once played for Everton, was training with Middlesbrough.

"They're both free agents so those deals would be quite straightforward," said the players' agent Barry Silkman. Southampton boss Harry Reknapp is keen to strengthen his squad as he looks to guide the club away from the Premiership relegation zone. Silkman added: "Abel Xavier is the more straightforward (deal) of the two, if he proves his fitness he will be ready whenever Harry needs him."

Last month Xavier was on trial at Blackburn.

Everton win race to sign Beattie

Southampton striker James Beattie has opted to join Everton rather than Aston Villa and is now set to complete a £6.5m transfer to Goodison Park.

The Saints had accepted bids from both Everton and Villa, but Beattie has chosen to join fourth-placed Everton as they chase a place in Europe. The transfer represents a coup for manager David Moyes as he looks to strengthen his squad.The England international striker, 26, is due to undergo a medical on Monday.

Southampton boss Harry Redknapp revealed on Saturday that Everton and Villa had offered around £6.5m for the striker. Beattie's former club Blackburn, who he left in 1998, will receive a share of any transfer fee.

The sale of Beattie will bolster Redknapp's plans to buy the players he needs to shore up the club's relegation fight, with defence a key area.Redknapp has already been linked to Liverpool duo Stephane Henchoz and Igor Biscan, while defender Abel Xavier and midfielder Alex Nyarko are due to start trials with Southampton on Monday.

But the former Portsmouth manager denied speculation he was interested in Newcastle centre-back Titus Bramble. "I have not enquired about him," he said. "But we need people with a bit of pace because this team has not got any really.
