Southampton will reportedly complete the signing of Feyenoord midfielder Tonny Vilhena in the summer.
The 20-year-old was close to moving to St Mary's during the January transfer window, but the deal fell through because a fee could not be agreed.
Saints manager Ronald Koeman is said to be an admirer of the young Dutchman, who has won 16 caps for the Netherlands Under-21s.
According to the Daily Star, Vilhena flew over to England for secret talks at the beginning of this month and will now seal a move to the South Coast.
The report adds that Koeman sees his Dutch compatriot as a replacement for Morgan Schneiderlin, who is expected to leave at the end the season.
Vilhena has made 22 appearances for Feyenoord in all competitions this season.
