SAINTS are one of two Premier League clubs "tracking" Morocco international Zakaria Aboukhlal, according to a report by Football Insider.
The Rotterdam-born winger signed for French top-flight outfit Toulouse over the summer from AZ Alkmaar for a reported fee of an initial 2million euros.
He previously came through the youth ranks of PSV Eindhoven.
Aboukhlal has scored three goals and provided three assists across 12 appearances for Toulouse, as he gears up to compete in next month's World Cup.
The 22-year-old has 11 senior Morocco caps to his name, and two goals.
The report claims both Saints and Leicester plan to "keep tabs" on the forward for the rest of the season, with his name being suggested as a younger long-term replacement for Theo Walcott.
