Southampton in advanced talks with Brentford forward Ghoddos

The free agent has been linked with moves to Iran and Sweden in recent days.

But now Fotbollskanalen says promoted Southampton are showing interest in Ghoddos.

Indeed, it's suggested the 30 year-old is a step away from putting pen to paper on a Saints contract.

Ghoddos has three goals in 52 international matches for Iran in his career.
