da betway： According to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Everton have made Southampton’s Pierre-Emile Højbjerg their primary transfer target this month.
What’s the word, then?
da cassino online： Well, the Toffees are believed to be keen on the Denmark international, although they may have to shell out £35m for his services – something that they are reluctant to do according to Di Marzio.
The former Bayern Munich man has emerged as a key player for the Saints since his £12.8m move from Bayern Munich in 2016, making over 120 appearances while also becoming captain of the south coast side.
Højbjerg’s importance to Ralph Hasenhuttl is evidenced through the fact that he has made 22 Premier League starts this term out of a possible 24, helping Southampton into ninth place with 31 points to their name as things stand.
Transfer talk like this may be inevitable
Rumours over an exit for Højbjerg may be inevitable until Southampton sort out the 24-year-old’s contract situation.
The Dane’s current terms at St Mary’s expire in the summer of 2021, and it was confirmed by Carl Anka in a recent Q&A that discussions over contract renewals will not be taking place until the Saints reach 36 points.
However, until these talks do commence and Højbjerg puts pen to paper on fresh terms, Southampton should probably get used to stories like these given the midfielder’s obvious qualities.
The Southampton No.23 is a Champions League winner and a four-time Bundesliga champion, while he has also won the German Cup on three occasions.

There is no doubting Højbjerg’s pedigree in the game at such a young age, and for all the time that his future at St Mary’s isn’t set in stone, clubs will presumably be sniffing around with stories like the aforementioned one cropping up from time to time.
Southampton better get used to it until a new contract for their skipper is officially done and dusted.
