Southampton to bid £30m for Fulham forward Aleksandar Mitrovic?

Fulham forward Aleksandar Mitrovic has reportedly emerged as a summer transfer target for Southampton.

Mitrovic has contributed 11 goals and three assists for Fulham in the Premier League this season, but the West Londoners may cash in on the Serbia international after relegation to the Championship.

Southampton have struggled for goals during the current campaign, and The Express claims that Ralph Hasenhuttl may turn his attention to Mitrovic.

The report claims that the Saints are prepared to pay £30m in order to sign the 24-year-old, who still has four years remaining on his contract at Craven Cottage.

Southampton could potentially offset some of that fee by selling Charlie Austin, with a number of clubs in the Premier League and Championship known to be interested in the 29-year-old.
