The FOUR Southampton stars Man Utd, Arsenal and Tottenham want to pinch
SOUTHAMPTON are reportedly bracing themselves for another summer exodus, with Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham all waiting in the wings to pounce for their stars.
The Saints had to cope with losing five players last summer - Adam Lallana, Luke Shaw, Rickie Lambert, Calum Chambers and Dejan Lovren.
Despite that, they have proved to be the Premier League's surprise package this term, and are still in the frame to finish in the top four.
But according to the Sun, Saints could lose four players - Morgan Schneiderlin, Nathaniel Clyne, Toby Alderweireld and Jay Rodriguez.
Schneiderlin, who tried to engineer a move away from St Mary's last summer, has been attracting serious interest from Arsenal.

Ronald Koeman has a battle on his hands to keep hold of his prize assets
There are clubs that are interested, but I haven't agreed to join anyone

However, he denied a deal to join the Gunners is in place when he told Canal+: "There are clubs that are interested, but I haven't agreed to join anyone. I am concentrating on my matches. I know for sure that something is going to happen."
Clyne meanwhile is on Manchester United's radar and could fetch around £15m.
Saints are hoping Alderweireld will put pen to paper on a new £60,000-a-week deal despite United coveting his signature.

And Rodriguez could be on the move despite being sidelined for almost a year with a serious knee injury.
The Sun claims Ronald Koeman is privately worried there could be more departures should Southampton miss out on a Champions League spot.
Whether or not Saints keep hold of their prize assets, it looks set to be an intriguing summer window for Koeman.
