Mario Lemina

How is he doing?

The Gabon international has played 24 times for Fulham and looks set to play a big part in their fight against relegation. He recently scored the goal that gave the Cottagers a huge win away at Liverpool.

Saints future?

Like Hoedt, there is no future for Lemina at Saints and his time at St Mary’s is definitely past him. The club will be hoping Fulham take him permanently this summer, but that may depend on them remaining in the Premier League.
