There have been interest from sides in Spain and the French Ligue 1 but of particular preference of destination for Colley is a departure to England.
Everton, Watford and West Ham United are also linked with signing the former Wallidan left-back but from the stand of things, Southampton appear more determined to pull through the deal.
