Marseille have completed the signing of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg from Tottenham Hotspur on loan with an obligation to make the move permanent.

The Athletic reported that the French side had agreed a deal to sign the 28-year-old midfielder in a deal worth €20million (£16.8m).

The Denmark international had entered the final year of his Tottenham contract and had attracted interest from Atletico Madrid before completing his move to Marseille.

Hojbjerg joined Spurs from Southampton in the summer of 2020, having previously spent four years with the south-coast club following a move from Bayern Munich.

During his four years at Spurs, he made 184 appearances, scoring ten goals and providing 16 assists.

Marseille have already completed the signing of Mason Greenwood from Manchester United in a deal worth up to €31.6million (£26.6m).
