Hojbjerg has been closely associated with teams like Ajax, Juventus, and Napoli. The Serie A team, who were at first thought to be strong favourites, disqualified the trade because they couldn’t live up to Spurs’ lofty expectations.
The Bianconeri believe that the Lilywhites’ €30 million asking price is too high. Hojbjerg was supposed to be a temporary solution for Juventus, signed for a period of six months until the end of the season.
The possibility that Hojbjerg will remain in North London is growing because he hasn’t found a suitor and played brilliantly in Spurs’ most recent league encounter. Romano, an Italian journalist, expressed similar ideas during his recent Here We Go Podcast interview.
He said:
“We are aware that Pierre-Hojbjerg’s position is unresolved. Numerous rumours surfaced from Italian clubs, but based on what I’m hearing at the moment, neither Napoli nor Juventus are involved. Because of this, it is currently too early for Tottenham to announce their new midfield player.
The Danish midfielder, who joined Tottenham from Southampton and has been a dependable member of the squad ever since, has struggled this season as he has fallen down the hierarchy under new coach Ange Postecoglou.
The attacking style that Postecoglou brings to Spurs is a complete contrast to the style that the team played under Mourinho and Conte.
Although Hojbjerg’s style of play was appropriate for the game that the previous managers had his team playing, there are indications that Postecoglou may not have the same vision for his squad.
Hojbjerg has nevertheless demonstrated strong play whenever given the chance.
It is possible, therefore, that Ange will retain him as a dependable squad member through the end of the season.
He may stay, though, which means Spurs won’t sign another midfield player this transfer window.
