Saints pair could be on way out

Lee Holmes and Jonathan Forte could be the next players to leave Southampton.

Ryan Dickson was the first player to leave the Championship leaders this January transfer window when he joined League One side Yeovil Town.

And Saints boss Nigel Adkins admitted after the 2-1 win at Coventry on Saturday that Holmes and Forte could be on their way out.

‘The January window`s here and Jonathan and Lee haven`t been figuring as much,’ he said.

“We have just seen Ryan Dickson go out on loan to Yeovil and we might see some activity happen with the two lads there as well.’

Forte has been linked with League One side Walsall, and Holmes has struggled on the south coast with constant injuries.
