Southampton are seemingly in contention to sign the West Ham United man, according to the bookies.

According to Ladbrokes, Southampton are among those in contention to sign West Ham United midfielder Robert Snodgrass.

The popular bookmaker has installed Southampton as 7/1 third favourites to bring the Scotland international to the South Coast this summer.

Claude Puel’s side have the same odds as Stoke City, while Brighton and Hove Albion (5/2) and West Bromwich Albion (5/1) are first and second favourites.

The 29-year-old has had a tough time of it in recent months after sealing a £10 million move to West Ham back in January.

But the former Hull City man, brought in to replace Dimitri Payet, has struggled to justify such a transfer fee, failing to score in any of his 15 Premier League appearances for the Hammers – eight of which were from the start.

It certainly seems like the Irons will cut their losses and offload the ex-Leeds star but it remains to be seen where he will end up.

Southampton could be a good move for him if he can relocate the spark and energy which secured him a big-money switch to the London outfit in the first place.
