Southampton have had a reported £9million bid rejected for Sevilla midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak.

The Poland international has been a target for Arsenal but Southampton made an offer on Wednesday morning which was instantly dismissed.

Sevilla based publication ABC Sevilla say the club want a fee closer to the 25-year-old's release clause of £22million.

Krychowiak scored for Sevilla in their Europa League victory over Dnipro as his stock in European football continues to rise.

Southampton expect to lose Morgan Schneiderlin this summer with Manchester United interested and are weighing up alternatives with Feyenoord's Jordy Clasie and Idrissa Gueye of Lille among the names discussed.

Sadio Mane is another player who could be on his way out of St Mary's Stadium after Bayern Munich were linked with a move.
