Saints youngster Jake Hesketh is set to depart the club again with a loan move to MK Dons looking likely, according to Sky Sports.
The 22-year-old has spent the first half of this season on loan at League One outfit Burton Albion, where he scored three goals in 23 appearances.
His first league goal for the Brewers came in a game against Portsmouth at Fratton Park, where Hesketh scored a brilliant solo effort after taking the ball past several players.
Now he is set to join League Two hopefuls MK Dons, where he will look to further his career before potentially breaking into the first team at St Mary’s.
The Dons will be aiming for promotion come the end of the season, and they currently sit nine points behind league leaders Lincoln City in sixth place.
Hesketh has made four appearances for the Saints’ first team, scoring his only senior goal for the club against Crystal Palace in the League Cup.
