Tottenham could part ways with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg amid interest from Atletico Madrid as Ange Postecoglu eyes stylistic changes.
According to Daily Mail, Tottenham could consider selling Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in this window. There is reported interest from Atletico Madrid, while new manager Ange Postecoglou could bring in a different system that does not include the Danish star.
There is an air of change brewing at Tottenham after a disastrous season. Their eighth-placed finish ensured no European football at the club in many years. Such a scenario for more years could severely affect their financial standing.
The appointment of Ange Postecoglou as Tottenham’s new manager evoked fans to ask questions about the club’s ambitions. Yet, the direction the club plans to embark on promises plenty of optimism.
The signing of James Maddison has boosted the mood in north London. But Postecoglou plans for some drastic changes to their system. The Australian boss wants to bring free-flowing attacking football to Spurs. For that to take shape, he would need some fundamental midfield changes during this window.
He would need a solid midfielder at the base, which could see the club move on from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. The 27-year-old midfield general has had three good seasons in north London. But his style may need revisions to suit Postecoglu’s ideas.
Amid interest from Atletico Madrid, Tottenham could consider selling the 27-year-old midfielder. Other clubs, like Bayern Munich, are keen on the midfielder but are not yet ready to make a concrete proposal.
In fact, Bayern remain interested in Harry Kane after lodging an official bid earlier this week. Hence, Atletico could have the upper hand if Tottenham are open to the idea of selling Hojbjerg. How much would the 27-year-old midfield general fetch in this current market remains the question. But Spurs would look to make a profit.
Moreover, if they manage to sell Hojbjerg, Spurs would need a solid replacement. That new player could come in the moul of what Postecoglu wants. The Danish star has been one of Tottenham’s best players in recent seasons; they will have to part ways to move on to a different style.
