Saints willing to let Brereton Diaz leave in January
- Published
Southampton are prepared to let striker Ben Brereton Diaz go this month.
The 25-year-old was among a list of names circulated to clubs before the transfer window, with the Saints looking to trim their squad.
A number of Championship sides have already enquired about the Chile international.
Brereton Diaz joined from Villarreal for £7m in the summer but has failed to score in four starts and six substitute appearances in the Premier League.
Ronnie Edwards, who joined from Peterborough in July, has already joined QPR on loan until the end of the season, while defender Charlie Taylor may also be allowed to leave.
Southampton are also terminating Maxwel Cornet's loan from West Ham, with the forward having played just 71 minutes in the Premier League this campaign.
New boss Ivan Juric is looking to keep Chelsea loanee Lesley Ugochukwu, who struggled to play under former head coach Russell Martin.
Juric said: "The people from Chelsea are not stupid. He is a really young guy - 20 years old - and it's not always easy to work with youngsters. I think he has really good potential."
