Supporters of Everton have aired that they do not want the club to sign Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg from Southampton after transfer reports.

According to Sky Sports (Live blog, 21:08, 23/01/2019), who were informed by Gianluca Di Marzio, that the Southampton midfielder is now the club’s ‘primary target’ in January (via Toffee TV), which fans were not keen on.

Would Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg be an upgrade on the midfielders that Everton currently have?

Yes, couldn't really be much worse

No, we already have better than him

According to the post on the live blog shared by Sky Sports (21:08, 23/01/2020), the 24-year-old Dane would reportedly cost the club £35 million to bring to Goodison Park.

However, after only one assist in 26 games, and zero goals, so far this term (as per Transfermarkt), supporters were keen for this one to remain just a rumour.

What do we think?

With a 6.84/10 average rating in the Premier League so far this term (as per WhoScored), it is perhaps clear to see why supporters do not want the club to spend £35 million on the Dane.

When considering that Hojbjerg also only has a market value of £13.5 million (per Transfermarkt) then it is even more understandable why the quoted fee is unthinkable.
