Southampton are one of a number of Premier League sides reportedly interested in signing KAS Eupen striker Henry Onyekuru in the summer.
The Saints have allegedly met with the striker and his representatives to sound them out over a summer switch to St. Mary’s.
The 19-year-old has 20 goals and nine assists in 38 games for Eupen this season and is widely expected to complete a lucrative transfer in the summer.
Liverpool, Bournemouth and Everton are also weighing up moves for the teenage forward, while Celtic failed with a January bid earlier this season, say the Daily Mail.
Fellow Belgian sides Anderlecht and Club Brugge have both submitted £6.7m offers for the striker, which is believed to fall below Eupen’s asking price.
Yet to make his international debut for Nigeria, Onyekuru would struggle to earn a work permit to complete a move to the Premier League, unless Southampton pay £7m and sign him to a contract of £32,000-a-week to ensure a work permit under the totting-up procedure.
Southampton are in dire need of another forward to add to their ranks as they cannot go into next season reliant up Manolo Gabbiadini to be their chief goalscorer.
