Southampton looking to take Manchester City youngster Patrick Roberts on a season-long loan

Southampton are trying to sign Patrick Roberts on loan from Manchester City.

Mauricio Pellegrino wants to bolster his side's attack and will ask Pep Guardiola if Roberts is in his plans.

The City boss wants to see how he fares in pre-season before making a decision on whether the 20-year-old can go out on loan again after a successful spell at Celtic last year.
