Southampton left-back Romain Perraud has revealed that negotiations with Leeds United suddenly 'came to a halt' before he arrived at St Mary's in 2021.
Perraud was being chased by both Southampton and Leeds while playing for Stade Brest in Ligue 1 during the 2020-21 season.
The 25-year-old let his agent deal with the negotiations in order to focus on his football, but Perraud says Leeds opted to pull out, and instead signed Junior Firpo from Barcelona.
