Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg expected to stay at Tottenham amid exit links
Tottenham Hotspur fans can breathe a sigh of relief as Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg stands expected to remain at the club beyond the upcoming January transfer window.
Recent speculations surrounding Hojbjerg’s future had sparked concerns among Spurs supporters, with the 28-year-old midfielder seeing himself linked with a potential exit. However, current circumstances at the club seem to be favouring his extended stay.
The injury setback to Rodrigo Bentancur, who now faces more time on the sidelines, coupled with the impending absence of Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr due to the Africa Cup of Nations in January, appears to have deterred any potential move for Hojbjerg during the winter transfer window.
According to reports from Gazzetta dello Sport via ESPN, Hojbjerg will in all likelihood extend his stay at Hotspur Way, at least until the summer. The Danish midfielder has been a crucial presence in the heart of Tottenham’s midfield, bringing a balance of defensive solidity and playmaking skills.
It is only because of Ange Postecoglou’s selection basis that Hojbjerg sits on the bench. Irrespective of that, the Dane is a quality player to have in any squad. His performances have not gone unnoticed, attracting interest from clubs such as Juventus and previously being linked with Atletico Madrid.
While the transfer rumours had stirred speculation about Hojbjerg’s future, the latest developments suggest that any potential suitors will have to wait until the summer to make a move for the talented midfielder.
