Ralph Hasenhuttl has been on the lookout for a new central midfielder, having sold Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to Tottenham. GETTY Davies looks set for a move to the south coast this summer He is now set to bring Davies to St Mary’s on a season-long loan. The 22-year-old has made more than 100 appearances in the Premier League for Everton. But his opportunities to start look limited at Goodison Park this season, with Carlo Ancelotti bringing in three new midfielders  – Allan, Abdoulaye Doucoure and James Rodriguez- over the summer. He has been named among the substitutes in Everton’s first two Premier League games of the season, and was unused in the 5-2 win over West Brom on Saturday. Kia Joorabchian reveals the reasons behind James Rodriguez’s move to Everton “My understanding is Southampton are in talks over a possible deal for Tom Davies,” talkSPORT’s transfer insider Alex Crook reports. “They have been linked with a couple of players over in Portugal – Florentino Luis at Benfica and Sporting Lisbon’s Jovane Cabral. “I’m told there is no interest in those two, but Davies is a man who is certainly on their shortlist. Saints would like to take him on loan and give him the chance to get some regular first team football. “I think this would be a good signing. He is proven in the Premier League – he is just what they need.”,
