Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has joined Marseille from Spurs on an initial loan
deal; the midfielder made 39 appearances last season, but only 10 were starts as Ange Postecoglou
increasingly favoured Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr; Hojbjerg had entered the final year of his contract
However, while the midfielder made 39 appearances last season, only 10 of those were starts as Ange Postecoglou increasingly favoured Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr.
Hojbjerg had entered the final year of his contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and becomes Marseille’s fifth signing of the summer.
Tottenham have had two positional priorities – a central midfielder of the Conor Gallagher mould – and another
winger-forward, following the release of several players. Timo Werner has joined on another loan, while the opportunity to
sign such a promising young talent as 18-year-old Leeds midfielder Archie Gray
was too good to pass up, but they do remain interested in Gallagher and Villa’s Jacob Ramsey.
