Southampton have agreed a deal to sign Dutch defender Alexander Buttner, according to Vitesse Arnhem.
Arnhem posted a statement on their website today claiming they have reached a deal with Southampton that will see the left-back move to St. Mary's.
Buttner has been linked with a number of Premier League clubs this summer, including Fulham and Queens Park Rangers.
The versatile 23-year-old, who can play anywhere down the left, was named in Holland's provisional squad for Euro 2012.
Buttner could make his debut alongside record signing Jay Rodriguez in a daunting opening league game against Manchester City on August 19.
