Jean-Kevin Augustin

A player in the mould of Che Adams, Augustin was linked with Saints back in February.

However, the report from the Daily Mail also mentioned that the Frenchman would command a club-record fee to take him from RB Leipzig.

Like Lookman, Augustin has worked with Ralph Hasenhuttl before and the Austrian would know the strengths and weaknesses of his former player.

Other reports have also stated that the France Under-21 international is free to leave Leipzig this summer and Saints will hope that helps to drive down his £35m asking price.
