The report claims that it is ‘far from being a done deal’ at this stage and could go either way.

Southampton boss Ralph Hassenhutl is keen to bring in a player on loan today, especially as he has a number of injuries at the moment.

The 19-year-old impressed under Frank Lampard but he was left out of Thomas Tuchel’s squad last night.
