Southampton reach agreement to sign Torino defender Lyanco

Southampton have reached an agreement with Torino to sign centre-back Lyanco, reputed journalist Fabrizio Romano reports.

The Saints recently sanctioned the sale of Jannik Vestergaard to Leicester City, and they have now secured Lyanco as his replacement.

They will pay €7.5 million up front for the Brazilian. He is likely to undergo his medical this weekend before signing a four-year deal.
