Southampton in for Ola John?

Benfica forward Ola John has emerged as a summer transfer target for Southampton, according to The Mirror.

The Netherlands international joined the Primeira Liga giants from FC Twente in 2012, and has since then scored three goals in 44 appearances for the club.

A report from The Mirror claims that the Saints boss Ronaldo Koeman is a huge admirer of the 22-year-old's talents, and will make summer offer of around £6m for his services.

John spent the later half of last season on loan with Bundesliga side Hamburg, where he made nine appearances.
