Morgan Schneiderlin hints at Southampton exit

Southampton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin has said that he has made a decision regarding where he will be playing next season.

The 25-year-old has been strongly linked with a move away from the Saints, and he has admitted that if he is to depart, he wants to stay in the Premier League and join a club that are competing in the Champions League.

"Yes, I think my decision is made," he told RMC. "The goal is to stay in England, it is a championship that I like and where I have a lot of fun.

"If I leave Southampton it is for a club that plays better than the Europa League.

"There are ongoing discussions, but nothing is done. But of course the Champions League is my goal. If I leave Southampton it will be for a club in the Champions League."

Schneiderlin, who is currently sidelined with a knee injury, scored four goals in the Premier League this season.
