A national newspaper is suggesting that Town are to hold summer talks with Hassan Kachloul. The out of contract Moroccan is available on a free transfer in the summer and Town and Spurs are both linked with a move for the Southampton player.
Town have already failed to sign Kachloul twice. Last summer a fee of £2 million was agreed between the two clubs but the player decided he wanted to stay at the Dell and bide his time. Later on another deal fell through agains as the player wished to take his time before committing himself to another club or a new contract at Southampton. It was around this time that Southampton chairman Rupert Lowe claimed that Kachloul's wage demands were in the region of £25,000 a week. According to Town manager George Burley wages were not actually discussed between Kachloul and Town. Later Chelsea were linked with a summer move for the 28-year-old.
