Southampton are understood to be closing in on a move for PSV Eindhoven striker Jeremain Lens.
The 24-year-old has scored 22 goals in 67 games for the Dutch club following his move from AZ Alkmaar in 2010.
The newly-promoted Saints are now nearing a £3.5m switch for the Netherlands international, according to The Sun.
Manager Nigel Adkins made his third signing of the summer on Thursday with the arrival of Crystal Palace defender Nathaniel Clyne.
