Tottenham’s upcoming summer transfer window is set to be another busy one, with plenty of incomings and outgoings touted.

Ange Postecoglou‘s main task has been transforming the squad into one that will suit his tactical philosophy. That has seen a large player turnover in the past year at Tottenham, with the new style of play starting to take shape.

That looks set to continue into the coming months, as plenty of transfer targets continue to be linked with a move to Hotspur Way. There could also be a few exits on the cards as well, with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg one to keep an eye on.

The midfielder has moved from a first-team starter to being on the fringes this season, often called upon to see out games. With just over one-year remaining on his deal with Spurs, there’s questions surrounding his future.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg agent

Amid links with a potential exit, it appears as though Hojbjerg has landed a new agent, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. The Tottenham midfielder has joined the USG Italy agency and will be represented by Luca Puccinelli.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg transfer interest

The change of agency could accelerate any given move in the transfer market when the summer window opens. There is interest in the midfielder too, claims a report from Calciomercato, with Serie A seeming a likely destination.

The report states that both Juventus and Napoli are lining up potential offers to land the Danish international in the final year of his contract. For the Bianconeri, any move will depend on the future of Massimiliano Allegri.

The Juve head coach is said to have a keen interest in Hojbjerg, requesting a move in January, though his own future at the club is in question. As for the Azzurri, they are still showing interest heading into the summer window.

Ange Postecoglou praise

While the future appears uncertain, Postecoglou has been full of praise for Hojbjerg this season when he has played. Discussing his role in October, he said, via the Independent: “The discussions I had with him were that he was here and wanted to contribute, he wanted to be part of what we were building.

“It is obvious someone that has played regularly would have wanted to play more but ultimately our performances have been strong and he has had to bide his time. He has also been very important in a lot of the games that we’ve won late or had to shore up late.

“He has been one of the people who has helped us and it is not like he hasn’t contributed at all. He’s been a really important part for us.”
