Well, it looks like one reported Tottenham Hotspur target might be on his way out of his current club.

Spurs are heavily linked with a move for Southampton midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

According to The Daily Star, Tottenham will have to stump up a massive £35 million for the Dane, who is out of contract at St Mary’s next summer.

Is he going to North London? Who knows. Is he leaving the Saints? Almost definitely – and some Southampton fans on Twitter have spotted a very interesting indication that he might be on borrowed time.

He is the club’s official captain but James Ward-Prowse wore the armband during a friendly game on Friday……while Hojbjerg was on the field.

It seems like Ralph Hasenhuttl has dropped the 24-year-old as captain in what could be considered a sign that the reported Tottenham target is leaving.

Here’s how fans of the South Coast club reacted on Twitter:
