Marseille have confirmed the signing of midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg from Tottenham.

The 28-year-old will join the Ligue 1 side on an initial loan, with the agreement including an obligation to buy for £17m.

Denmark international Hojbjerg joined Spurs from Southampton in August 2020 and made 184 appearances for the club.

However, while the midfielder made 39 appearances last season, only 10 of those were starts as Ange Postecoglou increasingly favoured Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr.

Hojbjerg had entered the final year of his contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and becomes Marseille's fifth signing of the summer.

Who are Spurs trying to sign this summer?

Tottenham have had two positional priorities - a central midfielder of the Conor Gallagher mould - and another winger-forward, following the release of several players. Timo Werner has joined on another loan, while the opportunity to sign such a promising young talent as 18-year-old Leeds midfielder Archie Gray was too good to pass up, but they do remain interested in Gallagher and Villa's Jacob Ramsey.

The mayor of Marseille has demanded that his city's football club do not sign Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood.

Sky Sports News reported on Tuesday that Marseille have agreed a deal worth £26.7m including add-ons for the forward.

Greenwood spent last season on loan at Getafe after being suspended by United following charges of attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault.

The Crown Prosecution Service dropped the charges, and Greenwood's long-term United future has remained under serious doubt, also amid a change of controllership at Old Trafford to INEOS.

Greenwood has now been given permission to have a medical at Marseille and discuss personal terms.

Marseille mayor Benoit Payan has said it would be "unacceptable" if Greenwood ends up joining the French club.

United have inserted a significant sell-on clause into the deal, which is thought to be between 40 and 50 per cent.

When does the summer transfer window open and close?

The 2024 summer transfer window in the Premier League and Scottish Premiership is officially open.

The window will close on August 30 at 11pm UK time in England and at 11.30pm in Scotland.

The Premier League and Scottish Premiership brought forward Deadline Day to link up with the other major leagues in Europe. The closing dates were set following discussions with the leagues in England, Germany, Italy, Spain and France.

Manchester United have an agreement in principle with Lille for defender Leny Yoro, Sky Sports News understands.

The deal for Yoro, 18, is said to be worth €50m (£42.26m) and comes as United have seen their second bid for Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite rejected.

One source claims Yoro wants to move to Real Madrid, but the Spanish side's offers thus far have fallen short of Lille's valuation.

The Ligue 1 club find themselves in a difficult situation because Yoro has one year left on his deal.

If he only wants a move to Real and Lille cannot agree a deal with the Champions League champions, he could yet stay at Lille and move for nothing next summer.

Yoro is into the final year of his Lille contract and can speak to clubs outside France from January.

United don't want to get embroiled in drawn-out sagas like in some previous transfer windows. They have a profile of player in mind for positions they want to strengthen and will have multiple players who fit that profile.

Hence why Everton's Branthwaite and Bayern Munich's Matthijs de Ligt remain live options in the central defensive area.

Man Utd's second Branthwaite bid rejected

Manchester United have had a second bid for Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite rejected.

The offer was thought to be for an initial £45m plus £5m in add-ons.

United now have to decide if they will go back in with an improved bid.

Sky Sports News reported last month that Everton had turned down a first offer from United, which fell considerably short of their valuation of the defender, with one source suggesting the bid was worth £35m plus add-ons.

Everton regard Branthwaite, who played 35 times in the Premier League last season, as a key player.

Man Utd continue De Ligt talks

Manchester United also continue to negotiate with Bayern Munich over Matthijs de Ligt.

Talks with Bayern over De Ligt have been described as positive and there is a willingness from all parties to get a deal done.

Bayern want £42.5m plus add-ons for the Netherlands international, who is currently at Euro 2024.

Man Utd's stance on centre-back signings

United signing two central defenders in this window has not been ruled out.

United want to replace Raphael Varane after the Frenchman left the club following the expiration of his contract.

Further additions will depend on whether there are more departures in that position.

Victor Lindelof's future could be key. The defender has entered the final year of his contract and there are currently no talks planned over a new deal.

Fenerbahce are one of a number of clubs interested in the Sweden international.

Talks continue with Jonny Evans and his representatives over a new one-year deal.
