We haven’t seen Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in Tottenham Hotspur’s preseason yet as he still has yet to return from duty with Denmark in the European Championships. Now, if this rumor is correct, we might not see him at all. Fabrizio Romano is reporting that Spurs and Olympique Marseille are close to an agreement for the transfer of General Ho, with a full agreement coming “soon.”
Annoyingly, that’s all the details we have. We don’t know the transfer fee, we don’t know anything about wages. I’m sure that’ll all come out soon, I just wish we had a tad more to go on.
So we’ve known for a while that Hojbjerg was likely to leave the club this year after he slowly slid down the pecking order in midfield under Ange Postecoglou, though there haven’t been a ton of concrete rumors linking him away. But I guess his agents have been busy since the Euros. Marseille isn’t exactly the club I would’ve guessed he’d land at — I would’ve pegged somewhere in Italy or Germany — but France? Sure, fine. Whatever.
I just hope, if this does go through, that Hojbjerg is able to two-foot tackle his future teammate Mason Greenwood in training sometime.
