Southampton midfielder Hojbjerg backed for Everton move

Southampton midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg would be a good fit for Everton, according to former England defender Danny Mills.

The Dane is being pursued by Spurs and the Toffees, and Mills thinks he would suit the latter.

"He has been doing well for some time," Mills told Football Insider.

"Southampton have often been a feeder club and it will all be about finances this summer.

"Everton will be asking, 'Who can improve us?', 'Who can we make money on?', and 'Who is not going to cost the earth?'.

"I think he ticks all of those boxes.

"They are yet to replace Idrissa Gueye but they do have Gomes coming back to full fitness from injury as well.

"But there will not be a massive influx of new players coming into football clubs whenever this transfer window happens."
