Saints are again being linked with Utrecht striker Sebastien Haller with Newcastle also being believed to be in hot pursuit.
Saints were linked with French striker Sebastien Haller earlier in the summer, although how much of this is due to the fact that we now have a French manager and it is easy headlines to link him with every promising French talent is open for debate.
Newcastle are being reported as trying to advance talks with Utrecht for the 6ft 2 striker who since joining the Dutch Club initially on loan from Auxerre has hit 32 goals in 57 Eridivisie games including 2 in the opening 3 games of this season.
How much Utrecht would want for the player is not clear although it is believed that the price quoted in the January transfer window cooled both Sunderland & Norwich City's interest.
It looks like the transfer window is starting to move for Saints, it will only take one deal happening and there could be a little flurry of moves both in and out.
