New boss Nathan Jones has taken charge of two Premier League games either side of the World Cup break, both ending in 3-1 defeats against Liverpool and then Brighton.

But the former Luton manager is likely to be given the backing to help boost their survival bid.

Southampton are in desperate need of a new striker, having failed in moves for new Liverpool man Cody Gakpo and Portugal star Goncalo Ramos in the summer.

The south coast side have scored just 14 goals in 16 Prem games so far this season.

A move for Lorient striker Terem Moffi, who has 10 Ligue 1 goals this term, is being considered.

But Jones also wants to bolster at the back, with two new central defenders on his shopping list.

Jan Bednarek, who joined Aston Villa on loan in the summer, could be recalled having started just one Prem game all season for the Midlands club, a 3-0 defeat at Fulham in which he was hooked at half-time.

The Saints have also discussed recalling Jack Stephens from his loan at Bournemouth but the Cherries are keen to keep the defender until the end of the season.

A central midfielder to help struggling captain James Ward-Prowse is also on Jones' wish list, with the sale of Oriol Romeu during the summer increasingly looking a huge misstep.

Southampton could also look to add a right-winger in January with Norway international Mohammed Elyounoussi out of contract in the summer.
