Southampton are to consider making a bid for Juventus forward Fabio Quagliarella, in a possible swap deal involving Southampton outcast Osvaldo.
Manager Pochettino is interested in the 31 year old Italian, in a propsed deal which will see Osvaldo move the other way.
Quagliarella – who has 25 caps – has been restricted to only 16 appearances for the Turin club this season.
Record signing Osvaldo was shipped out on loan to the Serie A Champions, after head-butting Jose Fonte in a routine training session.
Quagliarella would be a decent signing for the Saints, as he has good European pedigree, having scored 25 goals at international level.
