Southampton boss Ronald Koeman has confirmed a bid for Leeds United fullback Sam Byram.

Koeman revealed on Saturday that Leeds had rejected their bid in the region of £4.5million right-back Byram.

"We lost Chambers to Arsenal - it (Byram) was a player we had on the list and it's true that we had a bid for him, yes,'' the Dutchman said after the 1-0 friendly loss to Bayer Leverkusen.

"What I heard was that Leeds didn't accept it."
