Ryan Fraser is in Australia as he nears a loan move to Western Sydney Wanderers. The Daily Echo revealed that Fraser is in advanced talks to join the club on a loan deal that will run until the summer. The former Newcastle man has travelled to Australia. Southampton will save on Fraser’s wages before he departs on a free. Tonda Eckert feels there is enough cover in the right wing-back role, particularly as James Bree has returned to the club after spending the first half of the season with Charlton Athletic.

Southampton's 31-year-old winger Ryan Fraser was linked with a move to the Australian club Western Sydney Wanderers, but the former Scotland international will not be making the move.
