Southampton: The six Saints players heading into last year of contract
By Marc Walker
Jake Hesketh
24-year-old Hesketh broke through into the Saints first-team in the 2014/15 season and looked to be another of the top talents to come off Staplewood academy conveyor belt.
Since then, he has not been able to kick on though and has had to make do with loan spells in the Football League.
The attacking-midfielder has a slight build that people may presume to be unsuited to the Premier League, but he has still shown of his ability in the past two years at Burton Albion and Lincoln City.
With his deal running out next year and being past an age that can be considered very young in football terms, could Saints be moving him on permanently soon?
