Southamptons negotiations with manager Ronald Koeman over a new contract are progressing well, according to executive director of football Les Reed.Koeman has enjoyed two successful seasons at St Marys, having broken the clubs Premier League record points tally twice and guided the Saints into the Europa League with a sixth-place finish this term.The Dutchmans contract expires at the end of next season but he said he wanted to stay at Southampton for the foreseeable future after their final game of the season. Despite that declaration, sources have told Sky Sports News HQ that Koeman would be tempted away by one of Europes leading clubs, but he has opened talks over a new deal and Reed is pleased at the way they have gone so far.Conversations go on all the time about planning for the future. Ronald has mentioned recently that hes sat down with us at board level and talked about the five-year plan, Reed told the clubs official website.Theres no point going into contract negotiations about finance and money unless youre all on the same wavelength about where the club is going. Koeman has enjoyed two successful seasons at St Marys If Ronald is committing himself to the club for a longer period of time, its important we talk about our ambitions being aligned and that we are still trying to achieve the same things.Were now at a point, as Ronald has said himself, where were actually getting down to the detail of the contract, which is where agents and lawyers get involved.Everything is going very positively at the moment.Also See:Koeman would consider top clubKoeman wants to stayWhen does your season start?Premier League gradesRay Spalding Hawks Jersey .Y. -- Sabres forward Drew Stafford has witnessed plenty of turmoil during his eight seasons in Buffalo.

Dushmantha Chameera, meanwhile, went wicketless and proved expensive, conceding 68 runs from his 10 overs. The Sri Lankans had the South African Invitation XI 285 for 8 by stumps. The visitors had made 373 in the first innings.Kumara may not have been in the likely XI for the Port Elizabeth match after taking only three wickets across two Tests in Zimbabwe. However, team management may consider him on the basis of form. Among his three wickets was the scalp of Leus du Plooy, who top scored for the Invitation XI with 142 off 159 deliveries. He also claimed the scalps of allrounders Jason Smith and Bjorn Fortuin, with the latter caught behind.Dinesh Chandimal wore the gloves for the Sri Lankans, having now sufficiently recovered from the broken hand he sustained in September. Chandimal took three catches and effected a stumping off Dilruwan Pereras bowling.The seam attack appears Sri Lankas shakiest discipline heading into the Tests, and, among the other frontline quicks, only Nuwan Pradeep was able to take a wicket, removing the highly-rated Aiden Markram to end the day with figures of 1 for 37.ddddddddddddSuranga Lakmal also went wicketless, but it is Chameeras form Sri Lanka will be most concerned about, as he is the only bowler capable of consistently bowling at speeds in excess of 140 kph. Before Sri Lanka left the island, Chameera had made a modest return to competitive cricket, taking 2 for 76 in a first-class game, though that had been on a spin-friendly pitch.The visitors will be buoyed, however, by a successful return to bowling from Angelo Mathews. Having been laid low by multiple leg injuries in recent months, Mathews took 2 for 15 from his seven overs. Dilruwan Perera also took two scalps for 22, but is unlikely to play in Port Elizabeth over Rangana Herath.Earlier in the day, Dhananjaya de Silva had managed to add only five runs to his overnight score, as he and Upul Tharanga were dismissed by seamer Duanne Olivier.Sri Lanka remain 88 runs ahead in the innings, with Tuesday being the final day of play.
