Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has now hired a new agent ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Danish midfielder has not been able to establish himself as a favourite under Ange Postecoglou and a summer exit could be looming.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has now been at Tottenham since 2020, but he is now being linked with a move away.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s future
According to Fabrizio Romano, the 28-year-old has now signed for USG Italy and will be represented by agent Luca Puccinelli.
Hojbjerg now has just one year remaining on his current deal ahead of the summer and has been linked with a potential move to Italy.
He is a player who has not played a big role since the arrival of Postecoglou last summer.
And reports have even suggested he will leave if Postecoglou remains at the club ahead of next season.
Postecoglou’s midfield options
Although they have had some issues with their midfield through injury this season, it is perhaps Tottenham’s strongest position.
The Australian manager has only provided Hojbjerg with six starts in the Premier League this season.
And that can be put down to the depth of options he now has with the likes of Pape Matar Sarr, Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma all ahead of Hojbjerg in the pecking order.
The £100k-per-week Dane came on from the bench on the weekend to play a mere eight minutes of football against Crystal Palace.
For a 28-year-old player who has been accustomed to playing regular football, this is simply not enough for Hojbjerg.
He has played a prominent role for Tottenham over recent years, but he’s been nothing more than a squad option this term.
