Southampton are reportedly eyeing up Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho as a potential replacement for Virgil van Dijk, whom Chelsea are in "pole position" to sign.

According to the Telegraph's Chris Bascombe, Chelsea will make replacing John Terry a "priority" this summer and are the prime candidates to recruit Van Dijk in a deal likely to be worth over £50 million.

The Saints are considering Blues defender Nathan Ake and Sakho—who is also attracting interest from Napoli—among their options to replace the Dutchman.
