Southampton are considering their options after seeing a deal for Feyenoord goalkeeper Justin Bijlow collapse following his medical.

In a statement on social media, Bijlow said the Premier League club 'have a different view to Feyenoord on how to treat an old injury'.

The 26-year-old added that he is 'fully fit and not hampered by this'.

But Southampton are now set to move on from the Dutchman as they look to bring in a shot-stopper before Friday's deadline. 

Arsenal's Aaron Ramsdale is one player of interest for the Saints, but he is currently too expensive. Ajax retain an interest in Ramsdale as well.

Raya joined the Gunners permanently from Brentford earlier this summer and has started the new season strongly, pulling off a wonder save to deny Ollie Watkins in Arsenal's 2-0 win over Aston Villa on Saturday.

Ramsdale will likely need a move away from the Emirates to get regular first team football and keep his place in the England squad, but Southampton cannot afford to sign him permanently as things stand.

Alex McCarthy has been Southampton's goalkeeper for their opening two Premier League fixtures, which Russell Martin's side have lost 1-0 to Newcastle and Nottingham Forest, respectively.

McCarthy was at fault for Newcastle's goal on the opening day, as his sloppy pass was intercepted by Alexander Isak before he set up Joelinton to fire home the winner.

Southampton are back in action tonight when they take on Cardiff City in the second round of the Carabao Cup.
