Lorient striker Terem Moffi is the subject of interest from Southampton this January.
The Premier League side are considering making a significant offer to land Moffi to assist new boss Nathan Jones.
Per The Athletic, such a move could have an impact on the future of Che Adams.
Leeds United are eager to sign the Saints forward, but a deal is unlikely to happen unless Southampton secure a replacement.
If they were to make a mega offer and secure Moffi, then Southampton would be prepared to sell Adams to Leeds.
Both sides are involved in the relegation scrap, which does mean that any transfer between them would be complicated.
