TRANSFER RUMOUR - Everton and Southampton linked to Aaron Mooy

Two stellar performances at the World Cup have earmarked Socceroos midfielder Aaron Mooy as a target for Premier League sides Everton and Southampton.

The Sun reports that both clubs are looking at the Huddersfield man, who is now valued at around £18m having only being bought by the Terriers last season for £10m.

Mooy's rise in value comes after a strong first season in the Premier League, with the 27-year-old key to Huddersfield avoiding relegation.

Despite the interest now in him, Mooy has stated that he's happy where he is.

"I'm very happy at Huddersfield, it's a great club for me and I'm proud to be a Huddersfield player," Mooy said at a press conference in Russia.

Huddersfield could however be tempted to cash in on the Australian if the right offer is made.
