Liverpool target Romeo Lavia is also the subject of serious interest from Newcastle United.
The Magpies are determined to strengthen their squad as they have qualified for next season's Champions League.
As manager Eddie Howe continues to build a formidable young team, The Telegraph states that he hopes to add Southampton midfielder Lavia into the mix.
However, they are not the only team interested, with Liverpool also very serious about the youngster.
The Belgian does want to leave the Saints, as he is not prepared to play in the Championship next season.
Lavia arrived at Southampton from Manchester City, having risen through the Citizens' youth program.
