Southampton eye Lazio centre-back Wesley Hoedt - but not as replacement for Liverpool target Virgil van Dijk
The 23-year-old is the subject of a £15.46m bid from Mauricio Pellegrino's men
Southampton are interested in Lazio defender Wesley Hoedt - but not as a replacement for Liverpool target Virgil van Dijk.
The 23-year-old joined the Biancocelesti from AZ Alkmaar in 2015 and has caught the eye of those at St Mary's.
The Lazio defender is the subject of a £15.46m bid from Mauricio Pellegrino's men.
Southampton have already signed one player from Serie A this summer, with Mario Lemina last week joining from Juventus in a club record deal.
Poland defender Jan Bednarek of Lech Poznan is the only other player to have arrived this summer.
