Shane Long

Out of these three players, it is perhaps Long who is likely to be needing to find a new club come next summer.

According to transfermarkt, his current four-year deal runs out in June having been signed in the summer of 2016.

At 32-year-old, he is one of the more senior members of the Saints squad and looks to be well down the pecking order in the strikers department.

His spells under Ronald Koeman and following the appointment of Ralph Hasenhuttl saw him hit some good form, but his record of 32 goals in 188 games may see him replaced by a younger player in the near future.
