Everton fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to express their reaction after reports emerged that Premier League rivals Southampton are looking to sign Tom Davies.

According to reports from talkSport, Southampton are in talks to sign the Everton midfielder this summer on loan.

Ralph Hasenhuttl has been on the lookout for a new central midfielder following the departure of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg who joined Tottenham.

The Saints boss has earmarked the 22-year-old midfielder as a potential option.

Davies has made more than 100 appearances in the Premier League for Everton, but he was inconsistent last season. Also, his performance was below par and came under strong criticism from the fans at times.

Many Everton fans feel that a loan move will be beneficial for the youngster. Here are some of the selected tweets:
