£110,000-a-week midfielder wants to leave Tottenham Hotspur in January

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has made a decision on his future.

That is according to The Mirror, who has claimed that Juventus and Atletico Madrid are interested in signing Hojbjerg from Tottenham.

So, what is being reported about Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg?

Let’s take a look.

What’s the story?

Well, according to The Mirror, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg wants to leave Tottenham Hotspur in the January transfer window.

Hojbjerg is not getting regular playing time at Spurs at the moment and fancies leaving the North London club in the middle of the season.

Serie A giants Juventus and La Liga powerhouse Atletico Madrid want to sign the midfielder.

However, according to the report, Tottenham will not let Hojbjerg leave if they are unable to find a suitable replacement.

Spurs are aware that Pape Matar Sarr and Yves Bissouma will be away on international duty in January when the Africa Cup of Nations takes place.

In my opinion, Tottenham Hotspur should not sell Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the January transfer window.

I believe that Spurs head coach Ange Postecoglou needs to keep Hojbjerg in his squad for the entire season.

After all, Tottenham are aiming to finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season.

And, maybe, just maybe, Spurs could even launch a challenge for the league title.

Yes, Hojbjerg is a peripheral figure at Tottenham now, but you never know when Spurs could need him.

The Denmark international is a very capable midfielder who is 28 now and is at the top of his game.

The former Southampton star knows the Premier League inside out.

I believe that Tottenham should not rush into selling the £110,000-a-week (SalarySport) midfielder in the middle of the season.

Hojbjerg has made two starts and nine substitute appearances in the Premier League for Tottenham so far this season.

The Dane has made 229 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.

The midfielder has scored 12 goals and given 15 assists in those games.
