Southampton target Czech Republic international Tomas Sivok?

Southampton are reportedly in the hunt for Czech Republic defender Tomas Sivok.

The 28-year-old is currently searching for a new club after leaving Besiktas following the expiration of his contract with the Turkish outfit.

It is believed that the newly-promoted Premier League club are interested in securing the defender on a free transfer, according to the Daily Star.

Meanwhile, reports have claimed that the Saints may lose out on the signing of Birmingham City goalkeeper Jack Butland following the 19-year-old's stint with the England squad at Euro 2012.
