England and Saracens back Alex Lozowski has reportedly rejected a move to Bath in favour of an alternative switch.

The 26-year-old is out of contract this summer and was set to leave Allianz Park in a bid to revive his international career with Sale also interested.

The son of former Wasps and England centre Rob, he moved to Saracens in 2016 after a two-year stint with his dad’s former club.

A part of two Premiership and European successes with Sarries, Lozowski was called up by England for a tour to Argentina in June 2017 and has since made five international appearances.

However, with the future of Premiership clubs now in doubt, he has reportedly agreed a deal to move across The Channel.

According to rugby transfer guru Neil Fissler in this weekend's edition of The Rugby Paper, he will instead move to the Top 14, joining Toulouse on a one-year contract.

A natural playmaker with an abundance of attacking talent, you can read about the full details of the potential move by purchasing the latest edition of TRP.

5 huge deals that could still happen ahead of 2020/21 season

As transfers continue to be completed ahead of the 2020/21 Premiership season, there are a number of moves still on the agenda...

1. Sergio Parisse (London Irish)

The Italy legend could continue his professional career in 2020/21 after London Irish offered him a lucrative one-year contract, according to RUCK sources.

With survival confirmed following Saracens relegation, London Irish have been on hunt for a marquee signing ahead of their move to Brentford FC’s new Community Stadium. It’s projected to have a capacity of 17,250.

This move could definitely still happen.

2. Jonny May (Newcastle Falcons)

The Leicester Tigers ace was told he’d have to accept a £100,000-a-year pay-cut to remain at Welford Road, but the Newcastle Falcons are lining up a move for the England flier.

Newcastle Director of Rugby Dean Richards has reportedly made contact with May to see if he’d be interested in a move to Kingston Park.

Although, it's understood he rather remain in the Midlands, it's a move that could definitely still happen.

3. Ross Moriarty (Leicester Tigers)

The Premiership side have emerged as favourites to tempt British Lions back row away from the Dragons.

The 25-year-old who is out of contract at the end of the season, helped Wales finish fourth at the World Cup. He has been attracting plenty of interest from the Premiership and France.

Moriarty, who plays at flanker and No.8, spent six years in the Premiership at Gloucester before joining the Dragons two years ago.

Exeter Chiefs, Northampton Saints and Bath have all taken a look at him along with big-spending French sides Lyon, Montpellier and Toulon.

The 27-year-old headed to Gloucester having emerged through the academy at Sixways, making 55 appearances before leaving as a hot prospect at the age of 20.

5. Alex Lozowski (Bath Rugby)

The West Country side are thought to be looking to sign Saracens’ Alex Lozowski who could be the exactly the sort of player needed to come in and unlock the Bath backline.

While Lozowski has played much of his recent rugby at centre he is also an experienced 10 and would make an able back-up option at fly-half however Bath are reported to be in a battle with Sale Sharks to land the versatile England international.

He will definetly leave Sarries, it's just a matter of where he ends up.
