George Burley is after one more signing before the transfer window closes at midnight.

The Saints boss today secured the signature of Jason Euell who is travelling with the team to face QPR tomorrow, though Burley admitted he is only likely to start from the bench.

Burley has not given up on landing a defender before the window closes but admits his hopes are starting to fade.

He said: "We've made an offer for a defender but we've had no reply back from the club.

"It's very difficult to prise players away from a club - they want to keep them.

"It looks doubtful but we'll keep trying as far as another defender's concerned."
