Southampton are one of many Premier League clubs running the rule over Hamburg striker Bobby Wood.
According to a report from German news outlet Sport, the USA international has been catching the eye of several top flight clubs over in England and Saints are interested in bringing him over to the south coast.
Wood has been in good form in the Bundesliga this season, firing home five goals from 15 starts and also contributing with four goals in as many appearances in the DFB Pokal.
The 24-year-old is held in extremely high regard back in his homeland and has been tipped for big things at an international level. He’s been a standout player for Hamburg in what has been a considerably poor season by their standards in the Bundesliga so far, with Markus Gisdol’s men struggling in 16th place.
Saints are reportedly joined by Everton, West Ham, Stoke, Leicester, and Liverpool in their pursuit of Wood.
The striker, who can also operate as a number ten, is claimed in the report to have a release clause in his deal at Hamburg which will allow him to leave the club in the summer for a price as low as £10.4 million.
However, if his side do indeed get relegated this season, he will reportedly be allowed to leave for a quite staggering £4.3 million through another clause.
