‘Developments expected in coming days’ – Effort begins to sign Tottenham player, agent has already travelled
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s transfer from Tottenham Hotspur to the Super Lig has the Turkish media buzzing with excitement today.
The midfielder is “on the road” to a transfer to Turkey, according to an Aksam article, which claims there has been a “flash development” in this pursuit.
The report begins by asserting that Hojbjerg will undoubtedly depart Tottenham at the end of the current campaign.
Then, it’s said that the player’s agent has visited Turkey for talks and is in contact with Turkish teams. Since there was already an approach made in the summer of last year, there is now a considerably greater probability of a move.
The situation may now be different even if Hojbjerg declined a transfer to Turkey in the past due to his imminent exit from Tottenham. In the upcoming days, additional developments are reportedly anticipated.
For the record, the Italian media has been talking about Serie A teams’ interest in the player for a while, so we must simply point out that the narrative seems overconfident in saying that Turkish clubs are the favourites to sign him.
Although the precise claim that Atletico Madrid was linked to the Tottenham player felt inflated, it does indicate that the player may be valued more highly than what Super Liga teams are willing to offer.

Tottenham takeover: Qatar eager to buy Premier League club after confirmed news – sources
According to sources who spoke to Football Insider, Qatar is unlikely to revisit a takeover of Tottenham unless it is for a majority stake in the team. Spurs chairman Daniel Levy confirmed that talks have taken place with investors in a statement made in the team’s 2022-23 accounts, saying that “the board and its advisors, Rothschild & Co, are in discussions with prospective investors.”
The sources also said that Spurs would prefer a minority investment in the club with current board members as part of a long-term project. Spurs are currently owned by Enic, led by Joe Lewis, with Levy owning a minority share in the company.
Qatar lose interest in Tottenham takeover amid Levy comments
After his unsuccessful offer for Manchester United, Sheikh Jassim may now focus on purchasing Tottenham, according to finance expert Kieran Maguire, who also spoke with Football Insider.
Though they fervently desire a majority takeover agreement, it is recognised that Qatari investors are still keen to invest in a Premier League team.
At this point, Tottenham’s investment negotiations are still most likely to result in a minority transaction from US entities.
Spurs are a very appealing investment because they recently revealed club records for revenue of £550 million, which includes a record-breaking £117 million on matchdays.
