Southampton midfielder Will Small has been given the "green light" to depart on loan amid interest from Nottingham Forest.
The 22-year-old is looking for somewhere that he could receive plenty of game time having recently returned from a ruptured ACL that he suffered in 2020. He made just four appearances in the Premier League under Ralph Hasenhuttl last term.
Steve Cooper currently has Jack Colback, Braian Ojeda, Cafu and Harry Arter available to him in central midfield, but the latter is likely to depart ahead of his contract expiring next summer.
