Hammers defender stays until November

Southampton have extended the loan signing of Christian Dailly from West Ham for a second month. Dailly arrived at St Mary's in September and he has impressed during his time at the club. The Scottish international has helped provide cover after Southampton lost a number of defenders to injury and Saints boss George Burley has moved to keep him at the club for a further month.

Great experience

"He's a great pro with great experience," Burley told the club's official website. "We brought him in for a month initially as we had other players coming back from injury, but we have actually lost more players and we are really short of numbers." Meanwhile, Burley is sweating over the fitness of full-back Alexander Ostlund after he picked up a hamstring strain during Sunday's win over Cardiff.
