Spurs new boy Pierre-Emile Højbjerg is better than Liverpool’s Jordan Henderson|image

This is admittedly simplistic, and there are good many nuances to player which fail to get reflected in these head-to-head comparison, however, it is difficult to dispute these individual stats.

When looking at players coming from supposedly lesser clubs, it’s frequently the case that an argument can be made for a player in question improving if he were in a better side.

The great thing about Pierre, is that he’s the opposite. The 25-year-old has been over performing for a lower side. In only one discipline did the Football Writer’s Player of the year beats Hojbjerg. That’s very respectable.

This is a great transfer. Medical on Monday.
