Southampton do not appear to be pursuing a summer deal for Fiorentina goalkeeper Bartlomiej Dragowski.
Reports had previously indicated that the Saints were in advanced talks to sign the Polish shot-stopper from the Italian club for a fee worth €10 million.
It was soon after suggested that Premier League outfit Bournemouth had moved ahead of Southampton in the race to sign Dragowski, with an €11 million bid submitted.
However, according to Sky Sports News’ assistant news editor Lyall Thomas, Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side are not chasing a deal for the youngster.

Dragowski enjoyed a fantastic tenure on loan at Empoli despite their relegation down to Serie B on the final day of the season.
During his time at the club, he broke an Italian top-flight record. The 21-year-old made 17 saves in his loan team’s 0-0 draw against Atalanta – the highest ever total in a single Serie A match.
Despite Dragowski’s excellent showings for Empoli, though, it seems he is not headed to St Mary’s Stadium this summer.
