SOUTHAMPTON SIGN DANISH DEFENDER VESTERGAARD

Southampton has signed Denmark international defender Jannik Vestergaard from German side Borussia Monchengladbach on a four-year contract, the Premier League club said on Friday. Vestergaard, who made 83 appearances in all competitions for Monchengladbach since joining the Bundesliga club in 2016, has 16 caps for Denmark and was included in Age Hareide's squad for this year's World Cup but did not feature in any of the games. "It feels great. The deal has been under way a couple of days and I'm very excited now it has finally happened," Vestergaard told the club's website. "I knew of the interest before the World Cup and the club has followed me for quite some time and done a lot of scouting, which is also a good sign for me that they know my strengths and weaknesses. "The degree to which the club wanted me was important in my decision. They had done a lot of research, seen a lot of live games and on video as well. I feel I'm at a really good place to develop." Terms of the deal have not been disclosed but media reports suggest the deal for the 25-year-old was worth 18 million pounds. Vestergaard is Southampton's fourth signing in the current window following the arrivals of winger Mohamed Elyounoussi, goalkeeper Angus Gunn and midfielder Stuart Armstrong.

GW7 ONES TO WATCH;SEAN MORRISON

Sean Morrison (£4.9m) Cardiff City may not have started the season as strongly as they would have liked but they do possess a centre-half who is making an impact in both defence and attack. Morrison helped his side to clean sheets against Newcastle United and Huddersfield Town over Gameweeks 2 to 3. He followed that up with back-to-back assists against Arsenal and Chelsea. Major threat The 27-year-old boasted a fine record in last season's Championship. He scored seven goals and recorded a total of 50 shots on goal. Although he has yet to score this term, Morrison has carried a major threat for the Bluebirds. Chance creator No Cardiff player has bettered his totals of seven chances created and two big chances. A big chance is a situation where the player receiving the pass is expected to score. Morrison's aerial threat can be decisive against visitors Burnley this Sunday. He has won 37 headed duels this season, more than any other defender. Claret concess...
