Southampton boss Ronald Koeman expects new contract talks with Jack Cork to be held closer to Christmas.
Koeman said a decision on what will happen is likely to be made in a few months.
"No, (there are no talks) not at the moment," he said. "Maybe the best moment for that is in December or January.
"It's his future, it is the future of the club, and, ok, we will make that decision when we think it's the real good moment for that."
