Southampton have made enquiries over the signing of Villarreal winger Nicolas Jackson.
The Saints are bottom of the Premier League and Nathan Jones is looking to strengthen his side before the end of the window in a bid to boost their survival hopes.
Jackson, 21, who has scored twice in 14 LaLiga appearances this season, is wanted on an initial loan but would cost the club over £20million.

Southampton though have been rebuffed in their efforts to sign Mislav Orsic from Dinamo Zagreb.
Jones’s side put in a bid of £5million for the veteran Croatian forward, but were turned down.
They also remain keen on Lorient forward Terem Moffi who is third in the Ligue 1 scoring charts with ten goals in 14 appearances.
Southampton though could face a challenge from West Ham for the forward, as they have spoken to the 23-year-old’s representatives.
Jones’ side could also lose a forward during the January window, with Dan Nlundulu in talks to join Bolton.
