According to The Telegraph, Southampton are already looking for replacements for Jannik Vestergaard after links with Tottenham Hotspur.
It’s claimed that the Saints are now braced for his departure and are beginning to look at other centre backs to bring in.
Ralph Hasenhuttl does though still have Jan Bednarek, Mohammed Salisu and Jack Stephens, but another option would still be needed.
Vestergaard, 28, has just one year left on his deal with Southampton and is now expected to be sold this summer.
Leicester City have been keen in the past, and the giant 6ft 6in centre back could be a cut-price option given his contract situation
The Dane has also been linked with Tottenham, with Sky Sports reporting in May that contact had been made for Vestergaard.
He seemed to be a prime target for Jose Mourinho, but he has lost his job and The Athletic suggest that Spurs may no longer move for Vestergaard.
With a new manager and new director of football potentially on the way for Spurs, they may not want to go rushing in with a move for Vestergaard.
