Tottenham Hotspur and Everton target Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has had the most shots without scoring of any player in the Premier League this season.

The Southampton midfielder has had a whopping 46 attempts so far this campaign without hitting the back of the net.

Even despite his profligacy in front of goal, Tottenham are believed to be keen on Hojbjerg though. 

The Dane is not exactly renowned for his attacking talents, with his defensive quality the main reason why Tottenham want him.

The London Evening Standard suggest that Jose Mourinho is a big fan of Hojbjerg, but Spurs may actually be fighting a losing battle in the race to sign him.

Everton appear to be the favourites to land Hojbjerg, after agreeing a fee with Southampton.

Regardless of what club Hojbjerg signs for, his new employers are likely to hope that he is more accurate for them next season.
