Saints seem to do a lot of business with Scottish clubs these days and the latest man tipped to move from North of the border to the South Coast is currently plying his trade with Heart of Midlothian in Scotland.
Southampton will have plenty of competition though say footballfancast.com for Hearts striker Laurence Shankland.
Crystal Palace, Burnley, Celtic and Everton are said to be interested as are Championship clubs Middlesbrough & Hull City for the 28 year old striker who has scored 13 goals in 21 SPL appearances this season, following on from his 24 in 37 last season.
Saints have been keeping tabs on Shankland since the summer when he was also linked with a move to St Mary's and the rumour North of the border is that it might well happen this time around.
