Parma winger Jonathan Biabiany has reportedly been made a transfer target of Southampton manager Ronald Koeman.
Following the departure of 10 players already this summer, it is expected that a number of new faces will arrive at the St Mary's Stadium before the transfer window is closed at the end of next month.
Three have been tipped to sign on before the end of the week, one of whom could be 26-year-old Biabiany, according to Sky Sport Italia.
The report added that the Saints have already submitted a bid for the former Inter Milan player and are awaiting a response from their Italian counterparts.
West Bromwich Albion are also said to be interested in the former France Under-21 international.
