Haskell has been linked with nearly every Premiership club, with Northampton Saints having been one of the early favourites to win his signature.

In April Haskell told RugbyPass regarding his ongoing clubless status: “Am I upset? No, that is just the nature of professional sport. I am disappointed that I can be starting for England one week and playing well and still be sorting things out.

As reported by RugbyPass and a number of other publications this weekend, the star flyhalf had been linked with the West Country club but The Telegraph are now reporting that the deal is going ahead.

Despite their bitter Challenge Cup final loss to Cardiff Blues on Friday night, the side are already guaranteed Champions Cup rugby next year.

With Owen Williams out with injury and set to miss Wales’ summer tour, Gloucester have been largely relying on a mix of Billy Burns and Billy Twelvetrees at pivot.

Cipriani had also recently been linked to both Bath and even a move back to the Sale Sharks. The Daily Mail reported that he had been linked with a move back to his former club after a deal with former Ulster 10 Paddy Jackson apparently fell through.

According to reports Jackson had signed a deal worth more than £340,000 before an apparent inquiry by Sale sponsors’ – AJ Bell – saw head coach Steve Diamond reconsider the deal and then publically deny negotiations had ever taken place with the player.
