Elche are pushing through with a deal for Southampton striker Guido Carillo.

Elche were also interested in Napoli veteran Fernando Llorente, but are set to sign Carillo today, reports TMW.

Carillo has spent the past two seasons in Spain on-loan with Leganes.

Saints have been eager to offload the Argentine, with the centre-forward not in the plans of manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Elche have agreed personal terms with Carillo over the last 48 hours.
