Fonte set to commit to Southampton

Jose Fonte is preparing to sign a new contract with Southampton amid interest from other clubs.

The 30-year old Portuguese defender has emerged as a target for both Hull City and Cardiff City in recent times but has confirmed that he is content at St Mary's and will soon put pen to an extension.

"I am in negotiations to renew my contract. There have been offers from other clubs but I feel happy at Southampton," said Fonte.

The former Sporting Lisbon and Benfica man joined Southampton from Crystal Palace in 2010 and has since made 179 appearances for the south coast outfit.
