Maya Yoshida chasing new Southampton deal

Maya Yoshida is keen to discuss new terms with Southampton.

The Japanese centre-back is out of contract next summer.

He told the Daily Echo: "Yes, because this training ground is fantastic, the stadium is fantastic, I love the city as well, my wife is satisfied, so if I play every week there is not any problem. The problem is I didn't play long time now.

"I don't know if the club wants me or not, but I will focus on playing football, because December is a very, very important time for us. It's not my job. The contract is my agent's job, so everything depends on them."
