SOUTHAMPTON are set to sign both Ryan Fraser and Mason Holgate on loan.
The Championship side are bolstering their squad following a string of high profile departures and potentially more to come.
Everton remain in talks over a deal to sign Che Adams, though there are disagreements over payment structures.
The current proposal from Goodison Park would see the cash-strapped Toffees pay their first instalment in August next year, which Southampton will not agree to.
Furthermore there is interest in Nathan Tella, Kyle Walker-Peters and Armel Bella-Kotchap at St. Mary's.
PSV Eindhoven and Luton Town were both keen on a deal to sign Holgate, while the Saints are also close to an agreement with Swansea for England Under-21 defender Nathan Wood.
