Saints are reportedly on the verge of signing Brazilian midfielder Guilherme do Prado from newly-promoted Italian Serie A side Cesena.
According to reports, Saints have agreed a fee of around €1m for the 28 year-old right-footed attacking midfielder.
Italian top-flight duo Roma and Chievo and second tier side Torino have all been linked with the player this summer.

Do Prado didn't play in Cesena's final pre-season friendly against Brescia on Saturday and was apparently at St Mary's instead to watch Saints' 1-1 draw against Leyton Orient.
Do Prado, who counts Perugia and Fiorentina among his previous clubs, joined Cesena last summer.
He played 34 times and scored nine times as they secured promotion to the top-flight.
