Southampton: Harrison Reed may make switch to Fulham permanent
Newly promoted Fulham have an option to buy Reed from Southampton for £8m and with promotion it is looking likely they will do so.
It was seen that Harrison Reed may have comeback to Southampton and been a possible replacement for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg but now it seems they will need to look elsewhere.
Fulham, recently won promotion back to the Premier League in dramatic fashion and Reed was an integral part in their season. In their deal, Fulham, have the option to buy the player for £8m and with the new cash they have they feel comfortable spending that on a player that the see is important to their success.
A number of Saints supporters were excited for the possibility of his return but now that it no longer seems like it will happen it the club will need to turn to the transfer market to replace Hojbjerg.

The club has been linked to a number of midfielders but it seems like the most exciting name they have been linked to is Schalke midfielder, Weston McKennie.
The youngster has been keen on a move to the Premier League this season and the Saints are one of a number of clubs who are pursuing his signature.
He still has plenty of growth left in him but he would be a perfect replacement for Hojbjerg. Likely he will need to learn Ralph’s system before stepping into the starting role but Saints fans should be excited if the club are able to sign the US international.
