Southampton have had a £27m offer for Spartak Moscow winger Quincy Promes rejected, according to Russian outlet Sport Express.

The report claims that Southampton made a £27m offer for Promes, which has promptly been turned down as it does not match their valuation of the player.

It is said that Spartak Moscow are demanding £35m, as they look to gain as much profit from the deal as possible for their star man.

Southampton have already broken their transfer record once this window, signing Guido Carrillo from AS Monaco for £19m last week.

The Saints host Brighton at St. Mary’s on deadline day on Wednesday, but look as though they could still be working behind the scenes during that clash as they look to push a deal for Promes over the line in time.

Promes was named Russian PL player of the year last season and has been in terrific form for Moscow, attracting interest from Southampton.
