Hampshire are understood to be closing in on a move for Essex star Reece Topley.
Topley, a 6ft 7in left-arm fast bowler who together with James Vince could make his England T20 debut against Australia on Monday, is seen as a potential leader of Hampshire’s attack.
Still only 21, he has already taken 125 first-class wickets at 25.8 apiece.
He has also made a big impression in one-day cricket, his 50 wickets at 23.7 including a career-best 4-26 as Essex beat Hampshire at The Ageas Bowl in the Royal London One-Day Cup earlier this month.
