Premier League outfit Southampton are reportedly set to make Moussa Djenepo of Standard Liege their first summer signing.
Moussa Djenepo is set for a medical at Southampton as he closes in on a £14 million move to St Mary’s, according to the Mail.
The Standard Liege winger has been linked with a move to the Saints for a number of weeks now.
Michel Preud’homme, manager of the Jupiler League side, even admitted to DH that he would be proud to see Djenepo earn his chance in the Premier League with Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side.
The Mail suggests that a deal could be in place in the very near future, with Southampton agreeing a fee of £14 million with Standard Liege for the Malian forward.
Djenepo has apparently agreed personal terms and is now set to undergo a medical, possibly even before the end of today.
The only issue then will be securing a work permit for a player who has just eight caps for his country.
A left winger by trade, Djenepo can also play on the right and he produced 11 goals and six assists for Standard Liege last season.
The Mail reports that Southampton have also discussed a £20 million move for Everton’s Ademola Lookman and are keen to sign Birmingham City striker Che Adams, too.
