Ronald Koeman's Southampton are in talks with Feyenoord over the potential signing of Netherlands midfielder Jordy Clasie, according to Sky sources.
Koeman is seeking a replacement for Morgan Schneiderlin, who has joined Manchester United in a four-year deal worth around £25million.
Clasie was left out of Feyenoord's pre-season friendly against Fortuna Dusseldorf on Sunday, adding to speculation he is set to leave the Eredivisie club.
The 24-year-old, who captains Feyenoord, has won 11 caps for the Netherlands to date.
He made two appearances for Louis van Gaal's 23-man Holland squad in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, coming on as a substitute for former Manchester City midfielder Nigel de Jong in their semi-final loss to Argentina, and then starting the third place play-off in which they beat hosts Brazil 3-0.
