Southampton are interested in Lorient striker Vincent Aboubakar.
The Cameroon international only moved to Lorient last summer, scoring 16 goals during the season.
Aboubakar, 22, was Bosman signing from Valenciennes and is tied to Lorient until 2016.
Flush with cash, Southampton are keen to do business with Lorient for the young striker in the coming weeks.
Borussia Mönchengladbach and Hertha Berlin are also interested in the World Cup veteran.
