Southampton forward Manolo Gabbiadini has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for two clubs in Russia.
Gabbiadini has been frequently linked with a move away from St Mary's, and it has previously been suggested that the Italian would prefer to return to his homeland.
However, according to The Mirror, CSKA Moscow and Spartak Moscow are ready to offer 27-year-old the chance to make the switch to Russia during the January transfer window.
Southampton could potentially consider the sale of the attacker - who is currently regarded as third choice behind Danny Ings and Charlie Austin - with Ralph Hasenhuttl likely to have plans to bring in his own players at the start of 2019.
Gabbiadini has scored 10 goals from 25 starts and 26 substitute outings in the Premier League since moving to the south coast in January 2017.
