Arsenal, Spurs chasing Southampton midfielder Mario Lemina

Southampton face a major battle to keep hold of Mario Lemina this summer.

In a poor season, Lemina has been one of the few success stories this campaign for Saints.

Foot Mercato says a move away for the Gabon international is likely, with London trio Arsenal, Tottenham and West Ham all keen. Everton are also interested.

Despite staying up, Saints are facing up to the prospect of losing Lemina this summer.

The midfielder penned a five-year deal with Saints in August - and they will expect to double the £15m paid to Juventus to agree to his sale.
