As per our recent information, the transfer of Pierre-Emile Højbjerg from Southampton to Tottenham is agreed, and the deal will be formally announced shortly. However, not everyone is happy with the move.
My understanding is that Southampton friendly elements in the press during this affair have done their level best to encourage interest from other clubs, even turning a passing interest from Everton into a formal bid and visit to that club’s training ground.
Despite the player’s disinterest in signing an extension with the South Coast Club, and the Saints’ subsequent removal of Pierre’s captaincy, some sour grapes involved have sought to run a campaign painting Tottenham’s interest as peripheral.
No amount of fake reporting can prevent a transfer.
