According to reports from talkSport, Southampton have rejected a second bid from Everton for midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

Everton made an £18million offer for the former Bayern Munich star last week. It was below Southampton’s valuation of the player.

The Toffees, as a result, came up with another bid, in the region of £20m (that could rise to £25m) for the 24-year-old midfielder who is also wanted by Tottenham Hotspur.

However, the report claims that the Saints have rejected the second offer from the Toffees as they are looking at a fee of around £35m.
