Last season's number one keeper at Reading, Joe Lumley, is 'set to sign' for Southampton, according to the Athletic.
The 28-year-old played 42 times last year while on loan from Middlesbrough, dividing fan opinion with his performances but very much becoming a fan favourite by the time of his exit.
Released from the Riverside in the summer, he has been a free agent since last month.

The Saints beat the Royals 4-2 during pre-season in a friendly, with former Portsmouth keeper Gavin Bazunu in net.
Reading academy graduate, and former England international, Alex McCarthy is still on the books at St Marys.
