Midfielder’s Future at Tottenham in Question as Transfer Window Nears Closure

The 28-year-old, who had fallen out of favor under manager Ange Postecoglou, found a lifeline with recent injuries and his representation at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Despite making a notable appearance against Manchester United in last weekend’s 2-2 draw at Old Trafford, questions arise about whether a backup bench role is sufficient for the Danish international. Florian Plettenberg, a respected journalist from Sky Sports Germany, suggests that Hojbjerg may be open to a new challenge, signaling the possibility of a move before the end of the month.

Hojbjerg, Spurs’ number five, remains a target for Juventus, adding an extra layer of complexity to the situation. As the midfielder has only 18 months left on his contract, the current transfer window represents one of Daniel Levy’s last opportunities to secure a decent fee for the former Southampton player. Levy’s decision is likely to be influenced by the desire to maximize the club’s return on investment in Hojbjerg.
