Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg inches towards Tottenham departure as contract nears end
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has provided insights into Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s potential departure from North London in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Hojbjerg, who arrived at Tottenham Hotspur in 2020 for a reported fee of £15 million, quickly established himself as a key figure in the squad during the managerial reigns of Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte. However, the dynamic shifted following Ange Postecoglou’s appointment, leading to Hojbjerg’s diminished role within the team hierarchy.
With Hojbjerg’s contract (transfermarkt) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium set to expire in just one season, as per Transfermarkt, Daniel Levy is keen to secure a deal for the midfielder rather than risk losing him for free next summer. Given his considerable playing time this season, a transfer seems increasingly likely as the campaign draws to a close.
Despite featuring in 27 out of 28 Premier League games this season, Hojbjerg has mostly been utilized as a substitute. While his presence indicates his potential importance to the squad, the midfield partnership of Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr has often been preferred over him, highlighting a shift in the team’s dynamics under Ange Postecoglou.
What did Fabrizio Romano say about Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, which further points to his Spurs exit?
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, the Italian wrote about Hojbjerg’s recent switch to a new agency, which is generally a pre-suggestion of a move away from the current environment.
Hojbjerg was linked to the likes of Atletico Madrid and Fulham in the past couple of transfer windows. He rejected an opportunity to move to Lyon in January. There have also been links to Italian clubs.
