Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg likely won't be a Tottenham player next season.

Football Insider UK reported on June 22 that "Tottenham do not expect the midfielder to be with the club next season, according to sources. With strong interest from Italian Serie A clubs, Hojbjerg is likely to leave in the next transfer window," the publication reported.

Hojbjerg was a highly touted youngster growing up at Bayern Munich. He broke into the first team, but his place in a team with a lot of big names didn't grow. Eventually, after a loan spell at Schalke 04, Hojbjerg moved to Southampton to try his hand at the English Premier League (EPL).

At Southampton, Hojbjerg quickly became a regular starter. A classic box-to-box midfielder, 카지노사이트 Hojbjerg's strengths lie in his ability to make an impact in the middle of the park. After four seasons at Southampton, he opted for a move to Tottenham.

When Jose Mourinho arrived at Spurs, he brought in Hojbjerg to provide a new engine in the middle of the park. He lived up to expectations and became a mainstay, establishing himself as an integral part of Spurs' core. The same was true under Nuno Santo and Antonio Conte.

However, under Enze Postecoglou, things changed. With Postecoglou favoring Pape Matar Masar and Yves Bissouma, Hojbjerg has rarely been in the starting lineup. While he's been working hard for the team, Hojbjerg is not a resource to be wasted on the bench.

Tottenham are also keen to get rid of Hojbjerg, who is not the type of player Postecoglou prefers. As Football Insider explains, "Spurs were willing to let Hojbjerg leave last summer and in the January transfer window, but they wanted a permanent move rather than a loan. Spurs are understood to value the player at between £15-18 million ($251-301 million).

Now, after more than 170 games for Spurs, it looks like it's time to say goodbye to the player after this season. Meanwhile, Spurs are reportedly planning to sign either Connor Gallacher or James Garner to fill the void left by Hojbjerg.
