Che Adams is at the centre of a three-club battle to take the striker to the Premier League next season.
Crystal Palace, Southampton and Burnley are interested in Birmingham City’s top scorer, who is expected to leave St Andrew’s in the summer.
Asked about Adams, Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl said: “I don’t want to discuss any personality. We were linked with him in the winter transfer period. We have eyes on a few young players who fit our shape and philosophy and we are mainly looking for younger players. First we have to be safe.”
Adams has scored 22 goals in the Championship for Birmingham this season and is regarded as one of the hottest properties outside the top flight.
Palace want a new striker and cannot afford to make Michy Batshuayi’s loan deal from Chelsea permanent. The Eagles are unlikely to be able to afford the Belgian’s wage demands, so are already looking elsewhere.

Adams fits into the Palace brief of trying to bring the average age and wage bill down, with the 22-year-old expected to cost around £15million.
