Denmark defender Jannik Vestergaard is reportedly due to have a medical at Premier League side Southampton on Monday.
According to Kicker, Southampton have beaten Everton, West Ham and Watford to the signature of the 25-year-old, who is already vastly experienced as he enters the prime years of his career.
The 6'5 defender made 32 appearances for Borussia Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga last season, earning himself a call-up to the Denmark squad for this summer's World Cup in Russia.
He did not feature at the club, primarily due to the form of Simon Kjaer and Andreas Christensen for their clubs last season, Vestergaard still managed to attract the interest of four Premier League clubs.
