Southampton are reportedly eyeing up a move for Sturm Graz and Denmark striker William Boving during this summer's transfer window.

Southampton are reportedly interested in signing Sturm Graz striker William Boving.

The 22-year-old has enjoyed a productive campaign in the Austrian Bundesliga, helping his side to lift the top-tier crown in back-to-back terms.

Boving kept up his impressive form during the division's Championship Group section, netting four goals across nine competitive appearances.

The attacker is also a regular on the international stage, featuring for Denmark Under-21s on 10 occasions, making the net ripple twice for his country.

Boving is expected to feature at the Under-21s European Championships this summer ahead of a possible exit from Sturm Graz before the fresh club season.

Southampton want goalscorer Boving?

According to Football Insider, Southampton are looking to seriously reinforce their attacking options ahead of the 2025-26 Championship term.

The report claims that the Saints are eyeing up an ambitious move for Sturm Graz star Boving before the conclusion of the summer trading point.

It is understood that the South-coast club have sent scouts to watch the progress of the 22-year-old on multiple occasions during 2024-25.

A key player for the Austrian champions, it is believed that Boving is available for £4.21m - a price tag which is unlikely to deter suitors too heavily.

Joining from Danish giants Copenhagen during the summer of 2022, the striker's current contract at Merkur Arena expires at the end of next season.

Southampton's striking ranks

Collecting a measly 12 points across 38 matches, Southampton finished rock bottom of the Premier League standings, 26 points from safety.

The Saints were unsurprisingly the lowest goalscorers in the division during 2024-25, netting just 26 goals, seven fewer than any other club.

Paul Onuachu won Southampton's Golden Boot race with just four Premier League goals, highlighting the need for attacking reinforcements at St Mary's this summer.
