Southampton have around \u00a330 million to spend following Ings departure so Rovers are unlikely to entertain low offers knowing that their asking price can be met.<\/p>\n<h3>Tammy Abraham<\/h3>\n<p>Abraham enjoyed a successful loan spell at Aston Villa during the 2018\/19 Championship season where he scored 26 goals in just 40 appearances and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/08\/04\/romelu-lukaku-close-to-chelsea\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Chelsea<\/a> now look set to let the player leave Stamford Bridge, providing the \u00a340 million valuation is met. Southampton are said to be considering a loan move for Abraham, but Chelsea are intent on selling the player as he has become surplus to manager Thomas Tuchel\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n<h3>Alexander Sorloth<\/h3>\n<p>Another potential signing, according to Sheldon, is that of Alexander Sorloth who plays for <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/08\/04\/marcel-sabitzer-bayern-munich\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">RB Leipzig <\/a>in the German Bundesliga.
