Slaven Bilic warns closing Premier League transfer window before Europe's could make situation worse

I know the clubs are generally in favour of the transfer window closing before the start of next season - but I do foresee some problems.

The window will still be open in other countries and that could lead to players leaving and you not being able to sign replacements, which would make matters even worse.

Take Liverpool, for example. If that rule changes, it would technically still not stop Philippe Coutinho going to Barcelona but it would prevent Liverpool signing a replacement.

Yes, it would be better if the window was closed before the start of the season but only if it is right across the rest of the leagues in Europe. Otherwise, it could be even worse than it is now.

Southampton vs West Ham team news

On the injury front, we expect Michail Antonio (hamstring) to be back tomorrow and that is good news.

Andy Carroll (thigh, right) and Cheikhou Kouyate (knee) have also started training with us and we will see how they go.

Manuel Lanzini (leg) is still not quite ready but will hopefully begin training with us on Monday.
