After several days of suspense, at last, the Tottenham of Jose Mourinho has made official the signing of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg after reaching an agreement with Southampton. The set ‘spur’ disburses about 20 million euros to acquire the services of the Danish footballer who is committed for the next five years (2025) and will wear the number '5'.
In this way, the Portuguese coach gets his first reinforcement of the summer in order to improve the squad to be able to fight for more ambitious objectives for the next season. The arrival of Hojbjerg is an express request from the Portuguese coach, who sees him as a fundamental player for the team's schemes given that he stands out for his great physical display. The Danish player is a defensive midfielder but he can also act as a center-back due to his ability to recover the ball as well as going very well on the court.
Hojbjerg this season at Southampton has played 38 games in the Premier League, EFL Cup and FA Cup, signing an assist.
Simultaneously, Tottenham announced the agreement with Southampton for the sale of Kyle Walker-Peters player who grew up in the lower echelons of the London club. With the first team he played 24 games although he never established himself in the starting position.
