Southampton determined to keep hold of Matt Targett

Southampton are determined to keep hold of Matt Targett.

The Mirror says Southampton have told Fulham that Matt Targett is not for sale but the left-back intends to review his future next month.

Ex-England U21 starlet Targett, 22, helped Fulham to promotion after joining in January and making 21 appearances.

The Cottagers have since tried to buy the ex-Saints trainee permanently this summer but have had a £10million bid rejected.

Southampton are refusing to do business as their regular left-back Ryan Bertrand,28, has other top-flight clubs chasing him too.
