Arsenal and Southampton reportedly monitoring Caulker situation

By

Arsenal and Southampton are monitoring the situation as Cardiff defender Steven Caulker considers offers from QPR and Crystal Palace, according to the Daily Telegraph.

West London Sport recently revealed Rangers had tabled a bid for the England international and subsequently that they were in talks with him after meeting an £8m release clause in his contract, and that they remain hopeful of signing him despite reports he had chosen a move to Palace.

Rangers boss Harry Redknapp believes the prospect of playing alongside Loftus Road-bound former Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand will help persuade Caulker to choose a move to west London.

However, it is claimed that Arsenal and Southampton are showing some interest in the 22-year-old, who has also been linked with Liverpool.

Steven Caulker is wanted by QPR
QPR are keen to sign Caulker in an £8m deal.

Meanwhile, QPR have again been linked with Norwich City’s Leroy Fer, whose agent has denied reports in the Dutch media that a deal was as good as done.

The Telegraph say Norwich are expected to demand a significant fee for Fer, having signed him for £5m from FC Twente only a year ago.
