Bas Dost (Sporting Lisbon)

Southampton are unlikely to sign two similar strikers such as Willian Jose and Dost in the same window, but the Dutchman is another example of what Saints need.

A target man who has shown lethal abilities in front of goal across his career, Dost has plundered 195 goals in 370 games so far during spells in Holland, Germany and Portugal.

This includes 34 in 49 for current club Sporting Lisbon in the 2017/18 season, and his style of play would surely suit both Saints and the Premier League.

£20m and above is likely to be the fee required again, although low prices can often be found in Liga NOS due to the vast differences in wealth between English and Portuguese clubs.
