Southampton have been linked to Elyounoussi in the past and now look to have finally landed their man.
It was reported on Wednesday that Basel have accepted an offer in the region of £16m from Southampton for the winger.
Bundesliga side Wolfsburg were also said to be keen, but the player has opted for a move to the Premier League.
Elyounoussi is set to become Southampton’s second signing of the summer, after Stuart Armstrong was unveiled on Tuesday – joining from Celtic for £7m.
