Alex McCarthy is considering his future with Southampton.

The Athletic reports the 32-year-old goalkeeper was hoping to regain the number one jersey at St Mary's following the departure of Fraser Forster to Tottenham.

However, the Saints instead opted to snap up the highly-rated Gavin Bazanu from Manchester City with the 20-year-old making his debut in Saturday's 4-1 defeat at Spurs.

Ralph Hasenhuttl also brought in another stopper, Mateusz Lis, on a free transfer.

A number of Premier League clubs are said to be interested in McCarthy, who has made 141 appearances in the top-flight, keeping 30 clean sheets in the process.
