Spurs fans on Twitter have been reacting to an update on Southampton midfielder and transfer target Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
According to Fabrizio Romano and Ed Aarons in The Guardian (via Daily Hotspur), the north London club are ‘confident’ of completing the signing of the 24-year-old this summer, despite interest from Everton. Spurs have been regularly linked with a move for the Danish international in recent months, but it is also suggested that the Toffees have now had a £25 million bid accepted, suggesting that the Lilywhites may have to act soon if they don’t want to lose out on the former Bayern Munich man this summer.
So far this season, the midfielder has made 33 appearances in the Premier League for Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side, contributing one assist and averaging a fairly solid 6.83 rating (per WhoScored). The in-demand midfielder was recently stripped of the Southampton captaincy, suggesting that a move away this summer could be on the cards, so it will be interesting to see if Spurs are able to agree on a deal with the Saints.
