The agent of Bologna defender Frederik Sorensen has confirmed that Southampton are just one of a number of clubs interested in signing his client.
The 20-year-old is regarded as one of the best young talents in Italian football, leading to suggestions that a host of European clubs had made contact over a transfer.
"It is correct that Southampton are among the clubs who have contacted Bologna regarding an interest in Frederik," Sorensen's representative Michal Bolvig told Sporten.dk.
"He has now produced regularly on a high level in a good league and it is natural that there is interest for a young player like him.
"The Premier League is an exciting option for Frederik. But he is not in a hurry to interrupt the progress he is going through at Bologna right now."
Sorensen joined Bologna from Juventus in January 2012.
