# Eredivisie star to snub Southampton & West Ham United

[![clasie.jpg](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/clasie.jpg)](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/clasie.jpg)Southampton fans in the Football Transfer Tavern are growing used to being linked with hundreds of players now they have millions of pounds in the bank.\
\
But according to [talkSPORT](https://talksport.com/football/dutch-xavi-brushes-premier-league-interest-140811106948#pq3lV32DoMUhoPGX.99), Jordy Clasie, who is also interesting West Ham United, is focusing on life at current club Feyenoord rather than a move away from De Kuip.\
\
The Dutchman has already been dubbed the ‘Xavi’ of the Netherlands national team having played for Louis van Gaal’s Oranje outfit this summer in Brazil.\
\
He only signed a new deal last summer but an impressive season, in which he played 37 times, means that clubs are on the lookout for his services.\
\
Arsenal and Tottenham were previously interested in the 23-year old last season and they have since been joined by West Ham, Southampton and also Porto.\
\
But the 23-year-old has confirmed he is once again focused on life in Holland.\
\
“Obviously, Porto would be a great club for me, but I cannot say more than that,” Clasie told Fox Sports.\
\
“For now the important thing is to be focused on Feyenoord.”
