Southampton have had a bid accepted for Blackburn striker Adam Armstrong.
He scored 28 goals in 40 Championship games in 2020-21, the second-highest figure in the division last season.
Southampton are in need of a striker after selling 29-year-old England international Danny Ings to Aston Villa for £25m earlier this month.
Armstrong, who represented England at Under-21 level, began his career with Newcastle and had loan spells with Coventry, Barnsley, Bolton and Blackburn before moving to Rovers on a permanent deal in 2018.
Southampton had an offer rejected for Armstrong last week, but returned with an improved bid.
