According to reports, Southampton was viewing Frank Lampard for the position of manager before they ultimately decided against it. Frank Lampard had been dismissed by Everton this year and was allegedly eyed by the Saints. However, he is not going to get this job this time. As per reports, Frank Lampard had been on the list of potential candidates for replacing Nathan Jones, who had been dismissed by the Saints on a weekend.
Frank Lampard might have already been supporting one Southampton player. One of his former England teammates is Theo Walcott and described him as the born leader. But it is not clear as to why Southampton has decided to drop the decision to bring in Lampard. It seems that they are not much impressed by how his tenure was at Everton.

Theo Walcott returned to Southampton from Everton on loan at the start of the 2020/21 season before his move was made permanent by the Saints at the start of last season. The attacker spent the final year of his contract with Everton as a loanee at Southampton thus paving the way for him to join them permanently as a free agent last summer. The England international started his professional career with Southampton before his transfer to North London side Arsenal as a teenager in 2006. At the time, Walcott was the most expensive teenager. After 12 years in North London, Everton paid around £20m to sign him. 
Arsenal are focusing on getting players out the door to free up space in the squad and slash their existing wage bill. Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Nicolas Pepe, and Hector Bellerin are still at the club, with the Gunners expected to find a solution regarding their future before the summer transfer window shuts down. 
Theo Walcott moved from Southampton to Arsenal as a teenager in January 2006 and he was with the North London club for over a decade. Walcott was at Arsenal for 12 years before he made a £20m transfer to Merseyside club Everton in January 2018. While he was at Arsenal, Theo Walcott won three FA Cup titles.
