According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Toffees want to sign the player this month and he will cost around £35m.
Ancelotti wants to improve his midfield options and Everton have been linked with the likes of Emre Can as well.
It will be interesting to see if they can agree on a deal with the Saints now. Hojbjerg would be a superb addition for them if they manage to pull it off.
He will help them control the tempo of the game and he will add composure to Ancelotti’s midfield as well.
