SOUTHAMPTON are in talks over a double raid on Swansea for Joel Piroe and Nathan Wood.<\/p>\n
Saints boss Russell Martin is keen to exploit his Swans connections having moved to St Mary's from South Wales this summer.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
The relegated club have already snapped up two former Swansea players, with Ryan Manning joining on a free transfer and Flynn Downes arriving on loan from West Ham.<\/p>\n
Now they are going further, with a \u00a315million double deal in the offing for Wood and Piroe. <\/p>\n
Swansea are expected to want closer to \u00a320m for the pair.<\/p>\n
Dutch striker Piroe has just one year left on his contract but there has been talk of a new deal being offered.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old scored 20 goals in all competitions under Martin last season and would be considered the ideal replacement for Che Adams on the South Coast.<\/p>\n
Adams is a \u00a315m target for both Everton and Crystal Palace. <\/p>\n
The Toffees remain in talks with Southampton, but there are concerns from the striker over their start to the season.<\/p>\n
The Scotland international has three goals in three games for the Saints so far this season, with the club having rejected a bid from Bournemouth earlier in the window.<\/p>\n
