Southampton have held further talks over a proposed £15million deal for Monaco forward Guido Carrillo.
The Argentine has been offered to a number of Premier League clubs, including Crystal Palace, but is keen on joining up with compatriot Mauricio Pellegrino.
Pellegrino's side find themselves one place above the relegation zone, and need to add to their squad in order to ensure survival.
The Saints manager has worked with his compatriot Carrillo before, coaching him at Estudiantes during the early stages of his career.
