Southampton are reportedly interested in bringing Marseille midfielder Giannelli Imbula to the club as a possible replacement for Morgan Schneiderlin.
Morgan Schneiderlin looks certain to leave the Saints in the summer, and Imbula would be an ideal replacement for the France international.
According to Le Parisien [via Daily Express], Southampton have made an inquiry over Imbula’s availibilty.
Marseille will reportedly seek £15m for Imbula’s transfer, with the Saints looking to fund the deal with the £24m sale of Schneiderlin.
Schneiderlin has been linked with moves to Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal, but latest reports suggest the Gunners are in pole position to land the 25-year-old.
Imbula reportedly turned down the chance to join Chelsea in 2013, but it now seems the 22-year-old is set for a Premier League move to St Mary’s.
Southampton are looking to make a push into Europe next season under Ronald Koeman, and the signing of Imbula would be a massive statement of intent from club bosses.
