Southampton are prepared to break their club record transfer fee to sign Spartak Moscow winger Quincy Promes.
The Premier League club's record outlay was £18.1m for Mario Lemina last August but Spartak rate Holland international Promes at £30million and are refusing to budge in their valuation.
Southampton have money to spend after banking £75m from Virgil van Dijk's sale and remain in talks with Monaco also for Argentine striker Guido Carrillo.
