Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, a midfielder for Tottenham, has been heavily linked to a January transfer.
Under manager Ange Postecoglou, the Danish midfielder has seen his status decline as Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr have taken over as the team’s first picks in the midfield.
However, he has performed flawlessly when called upon to play, making nearly all of his appearances off the bench.
But because Hojbjerg hasn’t been getting much playing time, there have been rumors that he might leave during the January transfer window.
Atletico Madrid and Juventus are two teams that have shown interest in signing the midfield player.
During the summer transfer window, Atletico Madrid was on the verge of signing him, but they were unable to reach an agreement with Spurs. In January, they are anticipated to return for him.
Juventus, on the other hand, has emerged as a serious contender to sign him; according to the most recent report, the Italian powerhouses have started negotiations with Spurs about him.
Giovanni Manna and the sporting director were in London for talks, according to Fabiana Della Valle, looking into the possibility of signing Hojbjerg.
They had “exploratory talks” about their Danish midfield player with Spurs.
Tottenham, on the other hand, has stated unequivocally that they are only interested in a permanent transfer and are asking for €30 million.
Tottenham’s decision to let go of Hojbjerg in January is still up in the air because of their lack of depth in the squad, particularly in defense and midfield.
Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr are both anticipated to miss the AFCON in January, which could restrict Ange Postecoglou’s options.
Although there are still questions regarding Hojbjerg’s future, his recent play showed how valuable he is as a dependable midfield player, and Spurs may need to use him heavily this season.
