Southampton boss Ronald Koeman wants to bring fellow Dutchman Dirk Kuyt back to the Premier League in January.

Kuyt, 34, ended a six-year spell in England when he quit Liverpool for Turkish giants Fenerbahce in 2012.

Koeman was keen to sign the former Holland international when in charge of Rotterdam side Feyenoord two years ago, and is now ready to try and land him once more.

Kuyt, who scored 71 times in 285 matches for the Anfield giants and 24 goals in 104 international appearances, is out of contract in Istanbul at the end of the season.

High-flying Saints are keen to sign another striker as a back-up to Italian ace Graziano Pelle, with Shane Long misfiring and Jay Rodriguez still more than two months away from returning after a serious knee injury.
