Josh Sims

After an uneventful spell on-loan with Reading in the first half of 2018/19, Sims burst back onto the scene at Saints when Ralph Hasenhuttl arrived.

His displays against Spurs and Wolves in particular saw him contribute to two important wins for his side.

The 22-year-old could be worth an extension on his contract that runs out next summer despite not showing enough consistency overall.

He seems suited to the high-pressing style that Hasenhuttl likes his sides to play and may be a useful impact player from the bench.
