Tottenham Reveals Loan Move For  Midfielder With An Obligation To Buy

pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has left Tottenham to join Ligue 1 club Marseille on loan with a buyout clause, according to the Premier League club.

According to Sky Sports, Hojbjerg, who made 184 appearances for Spurs, will first join the Ligue 1 club on loan with a buyout clause of £17 million.

Although Atletico Madrid and Fulham had expressed interest in Hojbjerg, it is believed that the player was keen to work with Marseille’s new manager, Roberto De Zerbi.

After Ange Postecoglou recruited Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall, the midfielder’s position in the team became questionable, leading to his departure.

The talks moved quickly, and the 28-year-old will spend the upcoming season in France on loan before his contract becomes permanent.

Hojbjerg had entered the final year of his contract at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Manager Postecoglou had no intentions for the midfielder because he did not fit into the team’s playing style.

Because of this, Postecoglou did not offer him a starting role last season, and it became evident that he would be permitted to depart the club.

He will play alongside Mason Greenwood at Marseille, and they may be joined by Arsenal attacker Eddie Nketiah in the future.

Hojbjerg was a consistent presence in Tottenham’s midfield, but with the introduction of new midfielders such as Pape Matar Sarr, Yves Bissouma, and Rodrigo Bentancur, he lost his place in the team and dropped down the pecking order.

Tottenham are going through a massive makeover for their squad.

Hojbjerg becomes the seventh player to quit the team, following Joe Rodon, Eric Dier, Tanguy Ndombele, Ivan Perisic, Japhet Tanganga, and Ryan Sessegnon.

The Spurs boss is directing personnel changes at the club and hopes to sign players who share his ideology.

After missing out on the Champions League, Postecoglou is preparing his team to compete for a top-four spot again next season.
