HULL City have agreed to sign Saints defender Charlie Taylor but the player is yet to make a decision, according to a recent report.

Championship side Hull, who are managed by former Saints boss Rubén Sellés, are said to be awaiting Taylor's decision.

Taylor, 31, joined Southampton on a free transfer from Burnley in the summer but has only started two Premier League games.

His last start came in a 3-1 defeat at AFC Bournemouth on Friday, September 30 and he has not played since coming on in the 5-0 defeat to Brentford at St Mary's.

In an interview with the Daily Echo earlier this month, Taylor said: "Look, the competition for places is there and it's all about just trying to pick up results now and change the run that we're on.

"Football changes so quickly. Under the last manager, I wasn't getting a look in. So a January loan was probably something I would have had to think about.

"But the new manager has come in and it's a clean slate for everyone. Everyone is fighting for their spots. That's only going to breed good, healthy competition."

Juric admitted on Sunday that he hopes Saints can reduce their squad further following Ben Brereton Diaz's loan to Sheffield United and Maxwel Cornet's loan termination.
