Journalist Fabrizio Romano shared the latest information he learned about Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s future at Tottenham Hotspur.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano admitted that it seems unlikely that the Danish midfielder will stay at Spurs for much longer.
Ange Postecoglou arrived at the club in the summer and brought many changes to the way Spurs play.
The loss of Harry Kane was big news in the summer, but the wins were great.
James Maddison was arguably the best signing of the transfer window, while Micky Van de Ven and Guglielmo Vicario took over. Tottenham’s new additions and change in tactics have resulted in several key players being dropped from the team.
Hugo Lloris was supposed to leave this summer but ended up stuck at the club.
Eric Dier was also demoted but was unable to move elsewhere.
Tottenham are also offering Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg an attractive deal and Fabrizio Romano believes they can do it again in January.
The Danish player has only been on the bench in the National League this season and will desperately need to leave and play regularly elsewhere.
Romano provided an update on Hojbjerg’s future at Tottenham
Speaking about the £15m midfielder’s current situation at Spurs, Romano said:
“It is important to mention something about Pierre Hojbjerg. A Tottenham midfielder, he was on Atletico Madrid’s roster this summer, they tried but found it almost impossible to reach an agreement with Tottenham for Hojbjerg on the final day.
“And also important to mention that he was on the list of Manchester United, it was a three-man list in midfield with [Sofyan] Amrabat the priority, Youssoufa Fofana and Pierre Hojbjerg also included in the list.
“But in the end Manchester United were able to sign the player that they wanted, Sofyan Amrabat.
“But for Hojbjerg the contract with his agent has ended and so he’s looking for the opportunities, new options and the January transfer window could be interesting for Hojbjerg because he wants to try a new chapter in 2024.
“It could be January, it could be summer but for sure, Hojbjerg is looking for a new opportunity.”
As Romano says, it’s no real surprise that Hojbjerg is looking to leave Tottenham in the near future.
He’s been an important player under several managers in North London but is at a stage in his career where he won’t want to simply be an option off the bench.
Given Spurs also have no other competitions to play in besides the Premier League until January, his minutes are going to be very limited.
It looks like it’s time for the club to cash in on the midfielder sooner rather than later.
