Free agent Radhi Jaidi looks set to join Southampton as reports suggest he has passed a medical at St Mary's.

The Tunisian centre-half is keen to get fixed up with a new club having left Birmingham City over the summer.

Jaidi played a significant role in the club's promotion last term but was informed by Blues boss Alex McLeish he would not be having his contract renewed at St Andrews.

Charlton boss Phil Parkinson has declared his interest in the experienced 33-year-old but it would appear Southampton have stolen a march on their League One rivals.

Saints boss Alan Pardew is keen to add experience to what is a talented but youthful squad of players and having landed former Reading captain Graeme Murty is keen to tie up another old head in Jaidi.
