Toulouse midfielder Ibrahim Sangare is on Southampton's radar.
The Telegraph says Saints chiefs see Sangare as a replacement for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg following his summer move to Tottenham.
Southampton are now preparing a first offer for Sangare, something which Toulouse will welcome.
TFC are eager to sell the 22 year-old following their relegation from Ligue Une.
Sangare managed 25 appearances with TFC last season.
