Southampton are set to sign David Brooks on loan TODAY - pending a medical - as Bournemouth could recall Romain Faivre to replace him after his excellent spell at Lorient

Bournemouth winger David Brooks is joining Southampton on loan pending his medical today.

He'll follow his Bournemouth team-mate Joe Rothwell who also moved to Southampton earlier this month on loan.

Saints will be hoping the pair can help them continue to push for an automatic promotion spot this season, with Russell Martin's side sitting just a point behind Ipswich in second place and eight points clear of league leaders Leicester.

Brooks had been diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in October 2021 but after undergoing 18 months of treatment, was given the all clear in May 2022 and made his return to play for Bournemouth during their 3-0 defeat by Aston Villa in 2023.
