JOSE FONTE has revealed he is taking a well-earned rest on the Greek island of Mykonos with his family.

The Saints skipper revealed he is currently on holiday with Wag Cassie Sumner and son Luca at the Myconian Ambassador - a 5-star hotel where rooms can go for up to £1,200-per-night.

The centre-back, who has been with the South Coast club since they were in League One in 2009, posed in the same shorts as his son.

Fonte has clearly been enjoying celebrations in recent days, posting numerous pictures on Instagram of the celebrations in Portugal.

Thousands of fans lined the streets in Lisbon to welcome Fernado Santos' squad after they beat hosts France to win Euro 2016.

Star man Cristiano Ronaldo was injured in the early stages before Swansea City striker Eder scored the only goal in extra-time to win the trophy.

Fonte will be given extra rest before returning to the South Coast for club duties before the end of the month.

Saints face an uncertain season after Ronald Koeman left the club for Everton - despite Fonte and Co finishing sixth, 16 points ahead of the Toffees.

Former Lille, Lyon and Nice manager Claude Puel has taken over at St Mary's after another summer of upheaval.

Following the losses of Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana, Luke Shaw and Morgan Schniederlin in recent seasons - as well as Koeman and previous manager Mauricio Pochettino - Southampton have seen more exists.

Key men Sadio Mane, Victor Wanyama and Graziano Pelle have all departed, while only Nathan Redmond and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg have arrived so far.
