Southampton are thought to have joined the race to sign Vitesse Arnhem midfielder Alexander Buttner.
Fellow Premier League clubs Fulham and Queens Park Rangers had been linked with a move for the 23-year-old, with the Cottagers favourite to land the Dutchman.
"England or Germany, they are both fantastic leagues," The Mirror quotes Buttner as saying. "At the moment I can't say more, I have to wait.
"I still have one year left on my Vitesse deal, so a new club first has to agree on a transfer fee."
Buttner is also believed to be on the radar of Bundesliga side Werder Bremen.
