Parma fullback Andrea Rispoli is interesting Southampton.
Rispoli has been a rare success story for Parma in a season of relegation struggle.
TMW says Southampton had scouts posted to check on Rispoli in Parma's Coppa Italia win over Cagliari last week.
Rispoli didn't let himself down, hitting the winner in the 2-1 triumph.
His performance was so impressive that Saints scouts have recommended his signing to manager Ronald Koeman before the market shuts in a fortnight.
