Southampton manager Tonda Eckert has identified Motherwell's 26-year-old winger Elijah Just as a primary target to strengthen his squad. Southampton faces competition, as it is believed that clubs in the English Championship are also monitoring the player, while Celtic and Rangers have also held a long-term interest. Interest in the winger increased following his two-goal performance for New Zealand against Iran at the World Cup, and his contract with Motherwell runs until May 2027.
