Southampton officials are in Brazil to try and push through a move for Sao Paulo left-back Welington despite interest from Torino.

Southampton felt a deal was in the bag after the defender underwent a medical with the club this week.
However, Italian outlet Torino have refused to back out of the race and are trying to hijack Southampton’s pursuit of Welington.
According to Spanish outlet Relevo, a team of Southampton officials have flown over to Brazil to try and get the deal over the line.
They are in the South American country at the moment to push through a deal to sign the defender.
