Samaras in surprise link with Southampton

Celtic striker Georgios Samaras is a surprise target for Southampton.

The striker is weighing up a contract offer from troubled Saints after being released by Celtic, says the Daily Star.

The Greek star has already turned down lucrative offers from China, Russia and Turkey as he wants to continue his career in a top European League.

Samaras, 29, has Premier League experience after scoring eight goals in 54 games for Manchester City during a two-year stint.
