The Saints winger has endured a tough time at St Mary's since his move last summer.
Southampton winger Mohamed Elyounoussi is reportedly on the radar of Italian side Udinese, according to Tuttomercatoweb.
The 25-year-old was recruited by the Saints on Mark Hughes's watch in the summer of 2018 for a £16.2million fee, according to Transfermarkt.
Much was expected of Elyounoussi given his impressive tally with Basel - 23 goals and 30 assists in 84 games - and with Molde FK - 42 goals and eight assists in 92 games.
However, the Norway international has failed to have much of an impact at St Mary's, making just 19 appearances in all competitions last season and failing to claim a goal or assist, according to Transfermarkt.
This season, Elyounoussi has not featured for Southampton and as such it seems like his time at St Mary's is coming to an end, with one week left of the European transfer window in which Ralph Hasenhuttl can move surplus players on.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, Udinese are believed to be looking for a potential replacement for Argentine number 10 Rodrigo de Paul, said to be on Fiorentina's radar, and have identified the Norwegian as a potential target.
The report does not mention a prospective fee regarding the acquisition of Elyounoussi's services but Transfermarkt lists his current value, updated on 13 June, as £13.5million.
