Southampton head coach Mark Wotte remains hopeful of being able to keep experienced goalkeeper Kelvin Davis at the club next season.

Contract talks at St Mary's are on hold at the moment due to the club's holding company being in administration, but Wotte is desperate to keep Davis to lead the Saints next season.

He told the club's official website: "Kelvin Davis said that he wanted to wait until the last possible day before moving on elsewhere if he receives another offer and expressed again that he wanted to stay.

"I also told him again that he is very important to us and that he will be the first person to be offered a new contract, as soon as there is someone in a position to do so and we have secured a better future for our club."

Wotte also revealed that Bradley Wright-Phillips and Jason Euell could still have futures with the clubs, but would have to accept reduced terms to remain with the club as they bid to battle back from League One.
