Russell Martin is poised to leave Swansea City after nearly two years in charge.
It's understood Martin has agreed to join the Saints, following their relegation from the Premier League, with the club's hierarchy keen to implement a more possession-heavy style in their bid to bounce back to the top flight at the first time of asking.
At the time of writing, there hasn't yet been an approach from Southampton in regards to compensation and other formalities. However, it's understood a move is now almost certain to materialise.
