Huddersfield Town and Southampton are both keeping tabs on Werder Bremen’s Zlatko Junuzovic as they consider a move for the midfielder, according to he Huddersfield Examiner.

The 29-year-old has already rejected a move to Turkish outfit Trabzonspor this summer, supposedly favouring a switch to the Premier League instead.

Considered something of a free-kick specialist, Junuzovic has been on the Saints’ radar for some time and German publication Kicker linked the Hampshire side and West Ham United with the Bremen star last summer.

Now newly promoted Huddersfield have entered the fray, with manager David Wagner preparing his team for life in the English top flight following their victory in the Championship playoff final.

Junuzovic has been with Bremen for five years after joining from Austria Vienna in his native country (for whom he has 55 caps) and has scored 20 goals and provided 49 assists in 172 matches in all competitions since.
