There are rumours that Southampton are weighing up a bid for West Ham centre back Winston Reid as a direct replacement for Dejan Lovren who they sold to Liverpool for £20m. Reid has turned down a £60,000 per week five year contract on offer from West Ham with just a year remaining on his existing contract. Southampton may look to use part of their windfall to tempt West Ham cut their losses before he leaves for free next summer. No bids or inquires have been received by West Ham to date for Reid but that could soon change as the Saints look to rebuild their squad from the ground up.
