Ronald Koeman will make Feyenoord striker Graziano Pelle his first signing as new Southampton manager.
Koeman intends to bring Feyenoord's Italian striker Pelle with him to Southampton, to succeed target man Rickie Lambert, following his switch to Liverpool.
The 6ft 4in Pelle has scored 50 league goals in the last two seasons and is rated at £10m by Feyenoord.
But Koeman said: "I want to bring Pelle to my next club. I would love to have him there, as he would be worth every penny."
