Southampton boss Nigel Adkins is facing double frustration in the transfer market.
The Sun says deals for RangersSteven Davis and Dutch full-back Alex Buttner appear to have collapsed.
Crisis club Rangers will not give midfielder Davis international clearance.
And Vitesse Arnhem say Buttner's move is off because of cash demands by a 'third party.'
Adkins still hopes he can sign Davis by appealing to FIFA.
