Report: 'Outstanding' Tottenham player agrees to join CL club, Spurs now set for negotiations

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.
