Report: Torino eye Southampton's Gaston Ramirez

Southampton's resolve to hang on to their big names may be tested again with Italian club Torino reportedly ready to offer Gaston Ramirez his desired return to Serie A.

Southampton forward Gaston Ramirez may return to Italy after emerging as a reported target for Torino.

The 23-year-old is believed to be keen on a move back to Serie A after struggling to hold down a starting place since signing from Bologna for £12m in 2012.

He remains highly regarded across Europe, though, and the Daily Mail claims that Torino boss Giampiero Ventura wants to add the Uruguayan to a squad that finished just short of continental qualification last term.

However, following the sale of Rickie Lambert to Liverpool, the Saints have vowed that no more players will leave until Mauricio Pochettino, who resigned to take over at Tottenham Hotspur, is replaced.

Adam Lallana and Luke Shaw are the subject of firm interest from Liverpool and Manchester United respectively, while Dejan Lovren, Jay Rodriguez and Ramirez are also attracting interest.

Ramirez has scored eight goals in 48 appearances for the Saints, 21 of which have been as a substitute.
