It's been a pretty poor season for Southampton this year as they've struggled and currently sit 17th in the table. 

Despite rescuing the club from relegation last season, Mark Hughes has been unable to stop the club's slide down the table and unless they make some serious moves in January, they will be relegated.

According to Football Insider, Stoke City are planning a move for Saints 'keeper, Fraser Forster if they lose Jack Butland in January. If Stoke do lose Butland, Southampton must cash in on the goalkeeper who has completely lost form and with the arrival of Angus Gunn, is probably third-choice.

The Breakdown

When Forster made the move to Southampton he started off his career on the south coast well. In the last few seasons, however, the former Celtic man's form has dropped severely and for the second-half of last season, he was replaced by Alex McCarthy who has kept his place in the first-team this season.

Moreover, with the arrival of Angus Gunn over the summer, Fraser Forster has found himself further down the pecking order. While the former Man City man may not be the first-choice goalkeeper at the moment, he will certainly take over from McCarthy in the near future.

Forster has not featured in a matchday squad for Southampton this season and if a suitable bid comes in, they must take it. He has no future at the club, and Southampton need to get him off their books while a team is interested.
