Maya Yoshida wants Southampton stay but no talks as yet

Maya Yoshida has revealed that he wants to remain at Southampton, but has claimed that he is yet to hear from the club regarding contract negotiations.

The 26-year-old's contract will expire at the end of the season, but his long-term future is unclear given that he has fallen behind Toby Alderweireld in defence.

"I don't know if the club wants me or not, but I will focus on playing football, because December is a very, very important time for us," the Daily Echo quotes Yoshida as saying. "It's not my job. The contract is my agent's job, so everything depends on them."

Yoshida has been a Saints player since 2012.
