Carrillo leaving Southampton for Leganes

Southampton striker Guido Carrillo is set to be on the move in the next week.

Sky Sports says Carrillo will leave St Mary's on loan in the next 24 hours after he was omitted from their pre-season tour of China.

The Argentinian forward wants to play regularly but does not figure in Mark Hughes' first team plans and the 27-year old will move to La Liga club Leganes on loan either later today or tomorrow.

Carrillo joined Southampton from Monaco in January, in a £19m club-record deal. However, he failed to score in 10 appearances for manager Mauricio Pellegrino, who prioritised the signing of his fellow Argentine.
