Southampton have been linked with a swoop for Toulouse centre-back Christopher Jullien.
It’s set to be a summer of upheaval for the French club, with a number of key players linked with a move away and it seems Jullien could be among those who depart ahead of next season.
Southampton are on the lookout for a new central defender and the latest name to be linked is the towering Frenchman, who has impressed over the years at Toulouse.
It’s claimed by French media outlet La Depeche that the 25-year-old would be keen to secure a move to the Premier League this summer, putting Southampton and other top-flight clubs on red alert.
The report indicates that any potential suitors would perhaps be able to recruit Jullien at a low-cost, with a figure of €10m touted by Le Depeche.
However, Southampton will face competition in their pursuit of Jullien, if reports are to be believed. It’s claimed that they are joined by Burnley and Crystal Palace in the race for the player’s signature.
