Nathan Redmond on Arsenal: I watched Gunners growing up, Thierry Henry was my idol

Show/hide article…

The Southampton winger was a youth at Birmingham when Arsene Wenger side were dominating the Premier League.

In the 2003/04 season when Arsenal were dubbed ‘The Invincibles’, Henry flourished.

The World Cup winner finished as the division’s top scorer with 30 goals.

Southampton’s star man still has a way to go to emulate Henry.

But Redmond, 23, has similar traits to the Frenchman in his game, with Henry having started his career from the left too.

Southampton 3 West Ham United 2: Charlie Austin breaks visitors’ hearts with injury-time winner

Show/hide article…

Southampton substitute Charlie Austin broke West Ham hearts with an injury-time winner from the penalty spot after Javier Hernández seemed to have rescued an improbable point for the 10-man London side.

Southampton were suffering a club-record goal drought in home games until West Ham arrived at St Mary’s.

587 minutes had passed without a home player finding the net here when Manolo Gabbiadini was given the freedom of the stadium to open the scoring. Dusan Tadic doubled the score with a penalty in the 38th minute, five minutes after West Ham’s Marko Arnautovic had been sent off for a foul on Jack Stephens.

Hernández pulled one back just before the interval with his first goal for West Ham since his transfer from Bayer Leverkusen. And he levelled with another opportunist strike before Austin’s late, late clincher.

Tottenham close to signing Southampton goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga

Show/hide article…

Tottenham are close to completing a deal to sign Southampton goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga, Sky Sports News understands.

The 25-year-old is set to re-join manager Mauricio Pochettino, who worked with him at St Mary’s, and provide extra competition for Hugo Lloris and Michel Vorm.

Spurs had considered a permanent deal Espanyol’s Pau Lopez, who spent last season on loan at White Hart Lane, but have instead turned to Pochettino’s fellow Argentine.

Gazzaniga has not played for the Saints since a 2-0 defeat at home to Pochettino’s Tottenham in December 2015, when he was beaten by both Harry Kane and Dele Alli inside three first-half minutes that day.

The goalkeeper, who was a youth player at Valencia, spent last season on loan at Spanish Segunda side Rayo Vallecano, for whom he made 32 La Liga appearances and kept 11 clean sheets.

Gazzaniga was already at Southampton when Pochettino took over in 2013, having signed from Gillingham the previous summer, and he made eight appearances under his fellow countryman before a further four under Ronald Koeman.

The ‘keeper is set to become Spurs’ second signing of the summer following the £38.4m deal for Ajax defender Davinson Sanchez, who will complete his move subject to the completion of a medical and work permit.

They remain firmly interested in Everton’s Ross Barkley, while talks have been held over a deal for Celta Vigo’s Pape Cheikh Diop as a potential alternative, and Spurs also want to sign another attacker before the deadline.
