Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is set to bid farewell to Tottenham Hotspur this summer, seeking a new challenge where he can secure regular first-team football.
According to senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke, the Danish international has informed the club of his desire to leave, following a season of limited playing time under manager Ange Postecoglou.
Hojbjerg’s minutes on the pitch have dwindled since Postecoglou took the reins last summer, and he is now eyeing a move to Serie A, with AC Milan, Juventus, and Napoli all expressing interest. With his contract set to expire in June 2025, Hojbjerg is eager to find a new home where he can revive his career.
This development comes as no surprise, given Hojbjerg’s growing frustration with his reduced role in the squad.
Despite being named in every Premier League squad by Postecoglou, he started only eight games and made 28 appearances off the bench. His unhappiness with the situation was revealed last month, and now a summer exit seems inevitable.
Hojbjerg’s departure will be part of a larger exodus at Tottenham, as Postecoglou looks to overhaul his squad. The Australian manager has spoken of the need for a “rebuild,” and up to nine senior players may leave the club this summer, as he seeks to stamp his authority on the team.
With Hojbjerg’s exit, Tottenham will lose an experienced midfielder, but the player himself will be seeking a fresh start where he can rediscover his form and play regularly.
