Southampton release 12 players in the wake of their relegation from the Premier League... including a former Arsenal star who had two spells at the club and a tricky Norwegian winger

Southampton have confirmed the release of 12 players in the wake of their Premier League relegation.

The Saints had a season to forget in 2022-23 as they churned through three first-team managers and eventually dropped out of the English top-flight.

From Ralph Hassenhuttl to Nathan Jones and, eventually, Ruben Selles - the Saints struggled to find any form during the entire campaign.

And, following the season's end, the club have now revealed which first-team stars will be kept on for the 2023-24 campaign.

The most notable name on the list, which the club gave special mention to, was attacker Theo Walcott.
