Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte has told Football.London that Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is making great progress under him.
Conte believes that Denmark international midfielder has made great progress from last season to now.
The Tottenham boss made the comments about Hojbjerg ahead of the Premier League game against Liverpool at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday.

Conte said: “Also Pierre Hojbjerg, he is making great progress if you compare last season and this season.”
Big player for Spurs
In our opinion, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is one of the best and most important players in the current Tottenham Hotspur team.
The 27-year-old does not always hit the headlines, but the Dane does his work quietly and without any fuss.
Hojbjerg is an unsung hero, and for Tottenham to achieve success this season, both in the Premier League and in the UEFA Champions League, in our view, the former Southampton star will have to be on top of his game throughout.
It is really great to see Conte publicly praise the midfielder and highlight his progress.
Hojbjerg is 27 now and in his prime, and his importance in the current Tottenham set-up under Conte will only grow in the coming weeks and months.
