O Keefe reveals what it will take for Spurs to sell 28-year-old; want replacement signed first

By Mehdi Gokal -

Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is one of the players linked with a move away this month. 

After securing the signing of Timo Werner and Radu Dragusin, Spurs have turned their focus on the outgoings. The likes of Hugo Lloris, Eric Dier, and Ivan Perisic have all moved on and Spurs are said to be keen on offloading several more players.

A recent report from Tottenham News suggested that Spurs do not plan on offering Hojbjerg a new contract either, with his current contract ending in 18 months.

Under manager Ange Postecoglou, Hojbjerg has seen reduced playing time, starting in only five out of 20 league matches and often appearing as a substitute.

Several clubs, including Juventus and Napoli, have shown interest in securing the midfielder’s services but have failed to come to an agreement with Spurs due to their asking price.

But it is said that the Hojbjerg saga could be set to go down to the final days of the window, as Spurs are not willing to accept a cut-price deal for him.

Paul O Keefe has now shared the latest on the Danish midfielder’s future. When asked on X if the midfielder is going to leave the club this month, he responded, saying that he will only leave if Spurs receive a ‘very good offer’ and if the club can find a replacement for him.

Signed by Tottenham from Southampton in 2020, he has been a consistent performer for Spurs, playing a key role under previous managers Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte.

However, with Postecoglou preferring other midfield options like Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr, he has found himself in a supporting role this season.
