Southampton are reportedly in talks with Monaco for striker Guido Carrillo and are hopeful of concluding a deal.

Whilst Saints boss Mauricio Pellegrino did not deny interest in the 26-year-old he does not want to discuss players who are contracted to other clubs.

"He's a player I know and the club know," he said.

"But I will not talk about someone else who is not here. The player is either yours 100% or nothing. One small detail can change the negotiation.

"If we bring people here it is because we feel they will improve the squad."
