Southampton have made a fresh enquiry about taking Manchester City right-back Issa Kabore on loan.
The 21-year-old impressed for City Football Group side Troyes on loan last season and now the Saints are determined to capture his signature.
The Burkina Faso international made 31 appearances as the French side just evaded the Ligue 1 drop zone last campaign and has since returned to the Etihad to team up with his parent club.
Kabore originally joined Pep Guardiola's side for £4million in 2020, but has yet to play a single minute in a City shirt, and instead has spent the last two seasons out on loan.
