Saints trying last-minute bid for Forte

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain looks set to stay at St Mary's - for now.

With focus on Liverpool's dramatic transfer dealings, Southampton may add to their squad for the remainder of the season. After tying up Brazilian star Guilherme do Prado last week, it appears Scunthorpe winger Jonathan Forte may be moving to Southampton.

Forte is familiar with ex-Scunthorpe boss and current Saints manager Nigel Adkins, and is not seen as a replacement for Alex Chamberlain.

A statement on the Scunthorpe United website said: "Iron manager Ian Baraclough has confirmed that forward Jonathan Forte is in Southampton discussing a potential move to the League one side."
