Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Shane Long is closing in on a £12m transfer to Southampton from Hull City, according to reports.
The Republic of Ireland striker only moved to the KC Stadium in January, and scored six goals in his 15 Premier League appearances for the club.
Long is expected to become the Saint's fourth signing this summer, after deals were completed for Dusan Tadic, Pelle and Fraser Forster.
Newly appointed manager Ronaldo Koeman has seen his squad ripped apart since the end of last season, with five key members of his squad sold.
According to the Daily Mirror, Koeman moved for Long after his top target, Manchester United's Javier Henrnandez, rejected a move to St Mary's.
Southampton face Liverpool, who they sold Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana and Dejan Lovren to, in their opening match of the season at Anfield on Sunday.
