“Very quick” and “relentless” Spurs player open to leaving with Hojbjerg
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, a midfielder for Tottenham, is reportedly willing to leaving as one team prepares a January offer, amid claims that the 25-year-old is prepared to leave in quest of more playing time. The Dane is thinking about his alternatives, too.

In addition to the confirmed arrivals of defender Radu Dragusin and midfielder Timo Werner, Spurs have also agreed to a number of short-term contracts in an effort to shed players.
“Growing chance” – Spurs could table bid for “exciting” player after Nusa
This window has been occupied by the Lilywhites.
Following goalie Hugo Lloris, who left Tottenham after nearly a decade to join Los Angeles FC, N17 has lost Djed Spence, Eric Dier, Ashley Phillips, Japhet Tanganga, Sergio Reguilon, and Ivan Perisic on loan.
These exits not only help the club save a significant amount of money on wages, but they also create much-needed space for possible new recruits. Given that their contracts expire around that time, players like Dier and Perisic will go permanently in the summer, providing Bayern Munich and Hajduk Split the chance to acquire them for nothing and create win-win scenarios for both parties as well as Spurs.
Given the uncertainty surrounding Bryan Gil and Hojbjerg’s futures, more exits haven’t been completely ruled out before February 1 either.
While Serie A and Spain are showing interest in Gil, there have been persistent speculations since October of last year that Hojbjerg may have to give way in order for Spurs to pursue Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher.
It is said that Hojbjerg wishes to leave Tottenham before the deadline, but the North Londoners will only approve his departure if it results in a permanent transfer, which might happen this month or later in the year.
Additionally, sources have stated that Al Nassr made an offer for Emerson Royal, which was turned down; nonetheless, the Saudi side may possibly make another proposal.
Emerson open to leaving as Al Nassr ready new bid
In fact, the Brazilian is reportedly tempted to make the transfer, according to HITC.While Tottenham is theoretically open to negotiating a deal, Emerson is reportedly open to the idea of joining Al Nassr as they prepare another offer. However, manager Ange Postecoglou would be in a difficult situation given his lack of right-back depth behind Pedro Porro.
This season, the former Real Betis player has proven to be a valuable backup as well. He even partnered with Ben Davies at centre back when Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven were both down.
Emerson has also been described by former Arsenal striker Kevin Campbell as a “very quick” and “relentless” player at his best, so Postecoglou won’t want to lose him in the middle of the season.

“Let me tell you, this guy is very, very good. He is all action,” when the player was first signed by the Spurs in 2021, Campbell stated to Football Insider.
“He is up and down, very quick and loves to attack. The way Spurs play, with the full-backs bombing on, he is perfect. He is relentless down the flank because he is an incredibly fit guy.”
