Tottenham’s chances of signing Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the summer may have been boosted by the Southampton midfielder’s change of agent.
Sky Sports reported on deadline day of the January transfer window that we had made the 24-year-old one of our top targets for next season.

Hojbjerg’s contract with Southampton expires in 2021 and he appears to be putting the pieces in play for a big move by hiring super-agent Pini Zahavi.
The Saints skipper told Danish outlet BT: “It’s all very simple. I ended my association with Søren Lerby around mid-December. Then I got the opportunity to work with Pini and took that opportunity.
“I am very happy to have Pini on my team. I don’t need to introduce him. His story speaks for itself. He is the master of his profession.”
Hojbjerg may have played down the significance of the change, but it does seem to play into our hands considering the amount of business that Daniel Levy has done with Zahavi of late.
As the Daily Mail reports, it was the Israeli agent who brokered Jose Mourinho’s move to Spurs, and he also represents Tanguy Ndombele [Sky Sports] and Gedson Fernandes [The Sun], two of our newest recruits.
Dealing with Levy is not for everyone’s taste, so it would make signing Hojbjerg a lot easier if a friendly face is on the other side of the negotiating table.
No rational person. But I thought it was over in November with all the VAR assistance Liverpool got and the decisions against city (one favoured us).
At first I thought you were having a lend but I’m convinced now. Surprise results are no longer a “surprise”.

Got to pretend there is still hope at the top, strong chance title chase ends 2 months before the season.
Citeh will win their Appeal. Fact. So forget about 5th, Manure will get 4th spot so Botch can do one , I believe his Motivational speech before the CL Final included something about Pig Husbandry.
