# Southampton: Fans upset at Josh Sims exit

**Southampton fans are far from happy after it was revealed Josh Sims has been placed on the club’s released list following the end of the 2020/21 Premier League season.**

The Saints experienced a mixed season last time out. While they started the campaign well and even reached the F.A Cup semi-finals, they produced a lacklustre display against Leicester City at Wembley, and they could only end up 15th in the table after going on a poor run of form. As such, there is likely to be a shake-up at the club this summer.

That will include several outgoings. As [confirmed on the Premier League website](https://www.premierleague.com/news/2163104), 11 players will depart the club on a free transfer, one of which is 24-year-old Sims. There had been high hopes for the midfielder, but he ended up making just 27 appearances for the club before departing ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/josh-sims/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/286919)).

However, it seems his departure has upset a number of the club’s supporters. The news was [shared on Southampton’s official Twitter account](https://twitter.com/SouthamptonFC/status/1400829697836171269), and the fans took to the social media platform to share their thoughts.
