Zakaria Aboukhlal could be set for a move away from Toulouse, with Southampton emerging as a potential suitor for the Moroccan forward. As the transfer window nears its close, Aboukhlal’s name has surfaced in connection with the English Premier League club, indicating that his future in Ligue 1 may be in doubt.
The 23-year-old striker has piqued the interest of Southampton, who are keen to bolster their attacking options this summer.
However, no formal offers have yet been made, and concrete negotiations have yet to commence.
With the transfer window set to close at the end of August, any potential move would need to be finalized swiftly.
Aboukhlal’s profile has gained attention in England, but his current situation at Toulouse remains fluid. Despite a challenging previous season marred by injury, Aboukhlal is gradually rediscovering his form.
This season, he has played 180 minutes but has yet to score. His resilience and return to fitness have been notable, and he appears to be regaining his influence on the pitch.
The Moroccan international, whose contract with Toulouse extends until 2026, carries a market value of approximately €9 million. His potential departure would be a significant move for both him and Toulouse.
As the transfer window deadline approaches, it remains to be seen whether Aboukhlal will opt for a new challenge in the Premier League or continue his development in France.
