Southampton look elsewhere after Aarons interest
- Published
Southampton are unlikely to continue their pursuit of Bournemouth full-back Max Aarons after the Cherries demanded 拢10m.
The Saints had a bid of about 拢6m rejected for the defender last week.
But they will now move on to other targets as they prepare for a return to the Premier League, which starts with a trip to Newcastle United on 17 August.
Southampton boss Russell Martin, who signed a new three-year contract along with his staff earlier this month, tried to bring in Aarons from Norwich City last year only for the 24-year-old to join the Cherries.
