Tottenham Hotspur are looking to move Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and one of his teammates to the same club, and their departures may fund a brilliant foray into the Premier League.
Hojbjerg has been a regular starter for Tottenham since joining the club from Southampton in August 2020, but that replaced him when Ange Postecoglou arrived as manager last summer. Postecoglou is seriously concerned about Hojbjerg’s ability to keep up with his lightning-fast playstyle.
The Danish star was therefore linked with a winter exit from Tottenham, but this did not materialise. But after playing just 1,293 minutes of Premier League football last season, the equivalent of just 14 full games, it is clear that Hojbjerg wants to leave if he can become a very important player for some other team.
Italian giants AC Milan are set to add to their team’s joy by capturing Hojbjerg and Tottenham teammate Emerson Royal this summer.
According to the latest reports from Italy, Milan are very interested in Hojbjerg and Emerson. However, a double shot has not yet been finalized.
Italian media are describing Milan as “arrogant” as they have yet to respond to Spurs’ questions regarding Emerson, although the right-back has shown that discussions over a conceivable transfer are taking place.
Milan are understood to be looking to downplay Spurs by providing just €10m (£8. 5m), although they are fully aware that the Premier League side needs a lot more than that before promoting Array.
However, it should be noted that this contradicts previous reports regarding negotiations between Spurs and Milan. On Sunday, Fabrizio Romano revealed that a “new offer” was coming for Emerson from Milan, as the Rossoneri have already submitted €15m (£13m), while Spurs are hoping for €25m (£21m). pounds sterling). of pounds sterling).
However, Milan and Spurs are willing to agree a double deal for the Brazilian and Hojbjerg. Both players would also take advantage of the possibility of signing for Milan, since they could count on more and also constitute an illustrious Italian club.
Once Spurs sell Hojbjerg and Emerson, they will use that budget to overhaul their midfield with a top-tier signing. Postecoglou remains a big admirer of Aston Villa star Jacob Ramsey, who Spurs have already discovered.
Spurs have already tabled a player plus cash deal for Ramsey that would have seen Giovani Lo Celso move to Villa Park, only for Unai Emery to reject the offer.
Instead, Spurs will have to meet Villa’s demands before adding the exciting 23-year-old to their team. Villa are believed to need at least £50m to sell their academy graduate to English rivals Spurs.
Obviously, this is a fee Spurs must pay, but if they can sell Hojbjerg and Emerson for at least £30m first, it would give Postecoglou a boost for the main move.
