Southampton are set to sign Zach Awe on a free transfer in the coming days.

The relegated side, who will play in the Championship this season, are aiming to bolster their squad ahead of the new campaign.

Per The Telegraph, defender Awe will be signing a multi-year deal after leaving Arsenal.

His contract with the Gunners has expired, which means the Saints do not have to pay any fee for his signature.

However, they will have to pay modest compensation due to Adrenal having developed Awe.

The Gunners did not see him as a player who could shine in their first team.
