Southampton are attempting to complete the permanent signing of Tino Anjorin from Chelsea before the end of the transfer window, football.london understands.
Anjorin spent the first half of the campaign on loan at Lokomotiv Moscow but will not return to Russia with Ralf Rangnick’s departure from the club a contributing factor.
Several top Championship sides are interested in taking Anjorin on loan until the summer and Chelsea are believed to favour that option.
