Olympique de Marseille strengthens its midfield. The Marseille club formalized the signing of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg this Monday evening. Tottenham have taken the 28-year-old and experienced Danish midfielder on loan (with an option to buy). This is the fourth Olympic recruit since the start of the transfer window, following Ismaël Koné, Lilian Brassier and Mason Greenwood.
After four seasons and 184 games played in the Spurs jersey, the native of Copenhagen, who has French origins and speaks the Molière language fluently, will find Ligue 1. Under the orders of Roberto De Zerbi, he should be the heart of Ciel et Blanc , even more so because we will have to wait before we see Valentin Rogier set foot on the pitch again.
Compulsory purchase option estimated at 13 million euros
Hojbjerg was trained in Denmark and began his professional career at Bayern Munich, where he played his first game before the age of 18 and was coached by Pep Guardiola. In 2016, this technical and dynamic defensive midfielder joined England and Southampton. He was then recruited in 2020 by Tottenham, where he played especially under the orders of José Mourinho. OM did not give details about the financial conditions of the transfer, but a mandatory purchase option of around 13 million euros has been mentioned by several sports media.

A year and a half ago, on the last day of the Champions League group stage, Tottenham eliminated OM from European competitions by winning in the last minute at the Vélodrome thanks to a killer goal from Hojbjerg (1-2). That evening, the Denmark international impressed the people of Marseille. He now hopes to make him smile.
