Southampton are reportedly 'getting closer' to signing Ryan Fraser on a free transfer, according to The Athletic.

Fraser has been without a club since leaving Newcastle United at the end of last season.

The 28-year-old winger has been linked with a move to several clubs, including Everton and Crystal Palace.

But it is believed that Southampton are now the frontrunners to sign Fraser.

The Saints are in need of reinforcements after a poor start to the season.

They have lost their first two Premier League games and are yet to score a goal.

Fraser would add some much-needed creativity and attacking threat to Southampton's team.

He has a good goalscoring record and is also a good crosser of the ball.

If Southampton can sign Fraser, it would be a major coup for the club.

He is a proven Premier League player and would be a valuable addition to Ralph Hasenhuttl's squad.
