# Southampton join the race to sign Adam Lallana

Southampton have joined the likes of Brighton, Burnley, Everton and Leicester in the race to sign Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana on a free transfer, according to a report from [The Express](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1313238/Transfer-News-Live-Jadon-Sancho-Man-Utd-Kai-Havertz-Chelsea-Liverpool-Premier-League).

Lallana originally joined The Reds from the Saints back in 2014 and now, over six years later, he will be leaving the club on a free transfer as his latest contract is expiring.

The 32-year-old signed a short-term extension with The Reds to see out the campaign after the pandemic caused the mid-season break but he’s yet to feature in a game since Project Restart started as both he and Jurgen Klopp did not want to risk him getting injured ahead of his upcoming move.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

After The Reds play Newcastle on Sunday, Lallana will officially become a free agent and he will then be free to choose his next club if he has not done so already.

Under manager Ralph Hasenhuttl, Southampton are well-known for their a high-intensity, high-pressing playing style and when he’s been fully fit, Lallana has excelled in a similar system under Jurgen Klopp at Anfield, so he could be a good fit for Saints if that’s where he chooses to go.
