Chelsea youngster Tino Anjorin is set to join Huddersfield Town on a short-term loan deal.
The 20-year-old spent the first-half of the season at Lokomotiv Moscow.
Anjorin, who is a target for Southampton, will now return to England.
But rather than joining the Saints, the Evening Standardsays Anjorin will spend time with Championship side Huddersfield.
Talks have been held between Chelsea and Southampton over a permanent transfer and negotiations could start up again in the summer.
The two Premier League clubs have a good relationship following the transfers over Tino Livramento, Armando Broja and Dynel Simeu.
