SAINTS have been linked with a £2.5m move for Barcelona defender Frickson Erazo.

But the Ecuadorian international does not play for the Spanish giants – but Barcelona FA in his native country instead.

The 24-year-old – full name Frickson Rafael Erazo Vivero – has won 21 caps for Ecuador. Erazo last year helped Barcelona to their 14th Ecuadorian league title.

No club has won the league more times, but it was their first title since 1997. Erazo was linked to Premier League champions Manchester United earlier this year.
