Hojbjerg’s interceptions versus Ipswich Town
A successful passing accuracy of 94% from a man in a Spurs shirt would normally be a cause for a Harry Winks snooze fest. This was only Ipswich, but what a refreshing sight to behold, a new signing who arrives with no backstory, no inexplicable hang-ups, just a desire to win. Some Tottenham fans will be utterly confused by this lunacy.
Great Dane? Pierre won 67% of his duels against the Portman Road boys. That’s pretty damn respectable, no matter who the opposition might be. For debut performance, this was an unashamedly confident display from the 25-year-old.
The acquisition of Pierre-Emile Højbjerg has been nothing shy of an absolute coup. Ignoring the exceptional value, this Dane typifies the very essence of a José signing. For those in two minds, I suggest you enjoy this post-friendly interview where the Spurs new-boy talks like a seasoned captain.
