Three Southampton youngsters are expected to be shown the door in the summer.
The Daily Echo says goalkeeper Tommy Forecast, who has not played a single first-team match since joining in 2008, will undoubtedly be released.
The same fate is set to befall Ryan Dickson, currently on loan at Bradford City.
Ben Reeves, who has been farmed out to Southend, also sees his contract expire in the summer and the 21-year-old academy product may have to leave to pursue regular first-team football.
