Southampton are short on options in midfield and may consider bringing in a new face before the transfer window shuts. Ralph Hasenhuttl only has Oriol Romeu, James Ward-Prowse and Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg at his disposal which would leave him without cover should one of the trio pick up an injury.
One player who may be available to Southampton is a familiar face – Morgan Schneiderlin – but he won’t come cheap. The 30-year-old has a £15m asking price and earns £100k-per-week/£5.2m-a-year in wages.
Schneiderlin has an uncertain future at Everton after struggling for form and playing time this season.
