Southampton have held talks with former Feyenoord coach Ronald Koeman.
The Dutchman is being considered to fill the void left by Mauricio Pochettino.
The Daily Echo says Koeman met with officials from Saints on Monday to discuss the position, although the club are expected to also meet with other candidates.
The timescale for an appointment is most likely to be another ten days to two weeks, but Koeman is very much in the frame.
