Southampton offer new long-term deal to Rodriguez

Southampton have offered Jay Rodriguez a new long-term deal.

The Daily Mail says Rodriguez still has two years to run on his current deal after signing a four-year contract when he joined the club in June 2012.

Liverpool and Tottenham are both interested in the striker but Southampton have moved to convince him to stay.

Rodriguez scored 17 times last season and was on the verge of a call-up for England's World Cup squad until he was ruled out for the summer with a knee injury.

He is expected back in October and it is understood he is interested in returning to action for Southampton before considering his options in the January transfer window.
