Southampton are eyeing Nottingham Forest fullback Matty Cash.
The Sun says Saints will move for Forest right-back Cash when the auction starts for him.
Saints are looking for an attacking player in Cash's mould, who could also play wing-back or even as a right-winger if needed.
Cash will be allowed to leave for around £12million.
West Ham have checked out the 22-year-old in the past but Saints are currently taking the bigger interest.
Cash burst onto the scene at Forest as a teenager in 2016, following good form while on loan in League Two with Dagenham & Redbridge.
