Saints valuation of Højbjerg too rich for Everton

The Blues are known to be looking at potential signings this month (although Marcel Brands indicated that the right side of midfield was the main priority) but also have to keep their costs down in the wake of the latest accounts.

As such, a big-money move of the type mooted here by Italian journalist Gianluca DiMarzio is unlikely.

Perhaps more feasible are unconfirmed reports that Carlo Ancelotti might seek to reunite with winger Hirving Lozano.

The Mexican international underlined his burgeoning reputation as one of the more exciting young wingers in the game at the 2018 World Cup and eventually earned a move from Brands's old club, PSV Eindhoven to Napoli under Ancelotti.

He has failed thus far to light up Serie A and the Italian club might look to move him on.
