Expecting announcement from Southampton later about loan deal for Sporting Lisbon winger Diego Capel. Told it's 'almost done'

The Sporting Lisbon winger has been a target for several Premier League clubs as Sporting Lisbon look to offload players while they are surrounded with financial problems.
Capel has two caps for Spain and despite making 114 appearances for Sporting in his three years at the club since a move from Sevilla, the 26-year-old has fallen down the pecking order at the start of this season.
