Josh Fonte has announced that he is eyeing a new deal at Southampton after turning down offers from other clubs.

Since the Saints have recently lost many a valuable players this summer, allegations are in wild fire saying that there is a huge possibility that Fonte will be on his way out of St Mary, with Cardiff City and Hull City both showing interest of the player.

However, despite the interests that was shown by other promising clubs, the center-back is ready to sign an extension to his contract-which will expire next year.

"I am in negotiations to renew my contract. There have been offers from other clubs but I feel happy at Southampton," said Fonte in the Daily Mirror.

On the other hand, Fonte admits that it will be quite a struggle for Southampton to adjust from the departures of Luke Shaw, Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana, Calum Chambers, and Dejan Lovren.

In spite of the setbacks, the Southampton's new manager Ronald Koeman has already brought in new signings to reinforce the team. Fonte is expecting that this will be of great help for the team and the entire club.

The 30-year-old said: "Ronald Koeman already knew he was going to lose some players. Of course, he can't be very happy with the situation but he has already signed three quality players.

"Ryan Bertrand came in to Luke Shaw's place and has done good work, Graziano Pelle scored a lot of goals last year in Holland and Dusan Tadic has a lot of technical quality.

"We still need another three or four more. The players who have arrived have brought competitiveness."

Fonte added: "I'm sad that so many players have left, but that's football."
