Southampton midfielder Harrison Reed admits he is considering his future.

The Saints star was on loan at Fulham last year, and was impressive for the Craven Cottage club.

The 25-year-old hopes he can get a chance with the Saints first team, but admits he would consider his future if he is not a regular under Ralph Hasenhuttl in 2020-2021.

He told the Independent about the Fulham loan move and his future: "As soon as I heard about Fulham's interest, I was keen to go.

"I didn't expect to walk into the team straight away, it took me a few weeks to learn the style of play and what the manager wanted from me.

"It's been a long journey full of ups and downs.

"There have been lots of good times at Southampton and a lot of bad ones too. You learn to accept that as a player.

"James Ward-Prowse was in my first ever training session at the club and now he's the captain.

"Everyone's journey is different. Some people's pathway will be very smooth, but that doesn't just get handed to them. That comes from hard work.

"My loans have all been really positive, I've learnt from three great managers, and I feel like I'm at the stage now where I've established myself in a very good side.

"At the end of the day, I'm a Southampton player, but after becoming a major part of the team I'm in, if those opportunities were suddenly to be reduced or taken away from me, I'd probably really struggle with it.

"You're prepared for that whenever you go out on loan. If there's talk about me signing for a club I've joined on loan, it's because I've made an impression and had a successful season."
