Marko Drobnjakovic/AP/Press Association ImagesMarko Drobnjakovic/AP/Press Association ImagesSouthampton manager Ronald Koeman has turned to FC Twente winger Dusan Tadic to replace departed midfielder Adam Lallana, according to the Mirror. The Saints are believed to have agreed a £10 million fee for the 25-year-old Serbia international, who has struck 28 goals in 66 appearances for his club over two seasons. Tadic has netted a further six in 25 appearances for his country. The move comes as Lallana became the third Southampton player to leave the club this summer, following teammate Rickie Lambert to Liverpool in a £25 million deal. Left-back Luke Shaw also left to join Manchester United. But the south coast club have promised manager Koeman that the proceeds from those transfers will be reinvested back into the side, with the Dutch boss also weighing up more deals. Koeman is keen on free-scoring striker Graziano Pelle and knows the player well his time at former club Feyenoord,and sees the 28-year-old as an ideal replacement for Lambert. He also wants Swansea and Wales left-back Ben Davies to replace Shaw, and could also be set to rival Newcastle for Celtic centre-back Virgil van Dijk. Celtic want £10 million for van Dijk but the defender is reportedly keen on a move to the Premier League.
