To everyone’s surprise, Will Still announced late on Saturday night that he will be leaving RC Lens. The announcement came after the 4-0 win over AS Monaco on the final day of the Ligue 1 season. The result ensured that Lens finished the season eighth, and in the event of Olympique Lyonnais being excluded from European competition by UEFA, Les Sang et Or would get a back-door route into Europe next season.
However, should that be the case, they will not be led by Still, who, in an emotional post-match interview, confirmed that he would be leaving the club due to personal reasons. He stated that he would be returning to England. According to Miguel Delaney, he could quickly find a new club.
The Independent journalist reports that Southampton, who next season will be compting in the EFL Championship following relegation from the Premier League, have made an approach for Still, and there is confidence that a deal can be completed.
