Central Midfield – Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

Mark my words: Højbjerg is going to be a household name in a few years’ time. Preferably, while still wearing the red and white stripes of Southampton. This, to me, is a player you start in every game he’s fit for, doubly-so in the big ones. Højbjerg has a box-to-box ability unmatched in the squad, great in possession and in initiating attacking play from the center of the pitch. Gotta put him up here, and hope we get some chances to let his attacking side shine.
