Tottenham Hotspur have enjoyed a productive summer transfer window having brought in four exciting players.

Dominic Solanke has just joined Spurs in a £65m deal following Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Yang Min-hyuk through the door.

Ange Postecoglou, however, is still keen to bring in another midfielder and was desperately trying to sign one from the Premier League before the move broke down…

Ange Postecoglou really wanted Conor Gallagher

Tottenham have been linked to Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher for most of the summer transfer window.

It seemed Gallagher was on his way to Atletico Madrid earlier this week but that deal collapsed and he’s not back at Chelsea.

According to The Times, Tottenham were really pushing to sign the England international before his proposed move to Madrid but they were put off by his £45m price tag.

Despite agreeing a £33m deal with Atleti, Chelsea were insistent that Spurs would have to pay a premium if they wanted to take Gallagher, labelled as ‘amazing’ (The Sun), to North London.

As such, Daniel Levy evidently pulled the transfer.

Conor Gallagher move could be back on

Now that Gallagher’s move to Madrid is off, perhaps Chelsea will soften their stance and allow him to join Tottenham for a reduced fee.

The West Londoners are clearly walking a PSR tightrope due to their substantial spending, so they’ll want to offload the 23-year-old this summer to avoid losing him on a free transfer in a year’s time.

One Tottenham Hotspur star is on Napoli’s radar as they look to wrap up a deal to appoint Antonio Conte as their new manager.

The Italian left Spurs in March 2023 after an explosive public outburst. It was a sour end to his time in North London and he has been without a job since.

Now, he’s all set to return to management, and once he takes charge at Napoli, he could make a move to sign a Tottenham player.

Antonio Conte wants to sign Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg from Tottenham

Tottenham are expected to be active in this summer’s transfer window.

Spurs have already brought in Timo Werner on another loan deal. A few more signings are likely to be made and several players could leave too.

One of them is Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who joined Tottenham in the summer of 2020 and was a hugely important part of the side in his first three years at the club.

However, following Ange Postecoglou‘s arrival in 2023, Hojbjerg dropped down the pecking order. He started just 10 times in all competitions in the recently-concluded season.

The Dane will enter the final year of his contract in July, and it seems very likely that he will be leaving Tottenham in the summer window.

Now, Corriere dello Sport claim that Napoli, who are all set to appoint Conte as their new manager, are interested in signing Hojbjerg this summer.

It has been revealed that the club, their sporting director Giovanni Manna, and Conte are all admirers of the Spurs midfielder and could make a move to sign him once the window opens.

What Conte really thought about Hojbjerg at Tottenham

Conte and Hojbjerg shared a fantastic relationship at Tottenham.

The Dane played all but three games under the former Spurs boss during his time as the manager of the club. He was always one of the first names on the team sheet.

The Atheltic revealed in April 2022 that Conte, like Jose Mourinho, always valued Hojbjerg’s willingness to learn and saw him as an ‘example’ to all of his teammates at Spurs.

After Conte left, it was claimed that some people at Tottenham felt Hojbjerg was ‘too close’ to the Italian, which didn’t go down well.

Hojbjerg needs to leave Tottenham this summer, and a reunion with Conte at Napoli sounds like a fantastic move for all parties involved.

Tottenham Hotspur are likely to be busy in the transfer market this summer, both in terms of incomings and outgoings.

Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has laid some solid foundations in his maiden season at N17 and he’ll be eager to build on them.

Likewise, Tottenham have a number of players on their books who appear to be surplus to requirements going forward.

One such player is Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, whose future at Spurs has appeared uncertain for a while now.

Now, a report has emerged claiming the 28-year-old has agreed to join a club in the Champions League qualifiers next term.

According to Milligazette, Hojbjerg has held talks with Fenerbahce sporting director Mario Branco and an outline agreement is in place with the player.

The Turkish club is now expected to ‘sit at the table’ with Tottenham soon in order to thrash out a deal.

However, with Hojbjerg set to represent Denmark at Euro 2024, any possible deal may have to wait until later this summer.

In addition, Fener are in the middle of presidential elections, which could delay things further.

The Superlig runners-up have recently appointed former Spurs boss Jose Mourinho as their new head coach, so Hojbjerg could be reunited with the Portuguese manager once again.

Tottenham likely to offload Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg this summer

Hojbjerg’s Tottenham future has appeared somewhat uncertain for some time now, and he didn’t make many starts last term.

With Hojbjerg’s contract running until 2025, this summer represents the last chance Spurs have of earning a decent fee for him. And there are certainly suitors interested in his services.

Hojbjerg has been deemed an ‘outstanding‘ player and he has certainly done well for Tottenham over the years.

However, a lack of regular starts and a contract set to expire in 12 months’ time mean he’ll probably be on the move in the coming months.
