Agen TangKasneT  ~   Southampton boss Ronald Koeman sent his brother Erwin to make a personal check on Birmingham hotshot Demarai Gray in the 1-1 draw at Preston in midweek, writes Steve Bates in the Sunday People.

The Saints' manager is weighing up a January move for the 19-year-old Blues wing star and dispatched Erwin, assistant head coach at St Mary’s, to provide an assessment.

England Under-20 international Gray did not get on the score-sheet but Koeman is clearly serious about signing the youngster.

Bournemouth have already had a £5million bid rejected.

Bandar Judi Online TangKasneT  ~   Saints also lead the chase for Cheltenham prodigy Luke Thomas – but have plenty of competition for his signature, including from Portuguese giants Benfica.

Scouts from a host of leading Premier League clubs – including Liverpool, Manchester United and Spurs – were in attendance during the Robins’ midweek FA Youth Cup tie at Leicester.

Both the Saints and Derby have had bids for the 16-year-old knocked back.
