Ryad Boudebouz ready for Southampton move

Sochaux midfielder Ryad Boudebouz is itching to make a move to the Premier League, amidst interest from ambitious Premier League side Southampton. The Saints have reportedly offered 3 million euros for the player.

The Algerian attacking midfielder has been with Sochaux since 2004, officially promoted to the first team back in 2008. He has since gone on to impress many with his sterling performances at the heart of Sochaux's midfield.


The 23-year-old said: "I have a contract until 2014 here so let’s see what the club will say, I am open to talk.


“My dream has always been to play in England or Spain.  To be linked with Southampton is interesting; it is everyone’s dream to be linked with good teams in big leagues in Europe.


“Southampton has a good history in the Premier League but I have a contract with Sochaux who is like Southampton in France.”
