Speaking to BBC Radio Solent via the Telegraph, Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has given Spurs target Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg a stern warning over the captaincy amid links with a north London move – hinting that the 24-year-old should extend his contract.
Hojbjerg, who has been a crucial figurehead during the Saints’ bid to avoid relegation, starting 27 Premier League matches, has yet to put pen to paper on a new deal – prompting manager Hasenhuttl to question his right to don the captain’s role.
The Dane has completed the second-most interceptions out of the entire squad, just behind defender Jan Bednarek, becoming a stable presence in midfield as the south coast club attempt to swerve the drop zone.
Should Spurs sign Hojbjerg?
Yes, absolute colossus
No, better options out there
Spurs have been linked with a move Hojbjerg recently, with a report from Football Insider indicating we could offer Kyle Walker-Peters in a swap deal.
Given this latest update, some Spurs fans have flocked with their diverse range of opinions on the transfer target down below.
