'Not keen': Tottenham do not want to loan out £15m player, they will only sell him - journalist

Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur have made a decision on the future of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

That is according to The Sun journalist Tom Barclay, who has reported what Tottenham’s current plan is regarding Hojbjerg.

So, what has been reported about Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg? Let’s take a look.

Tottenham Hotspur stance on Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg

Well, according to The Sun journalist Tom Barclay on X, Tottenham Hotspur do not want to send Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg out on loan in the final days of the January transfer window.

Barclay has claimed that although things could change in the coming days, at the moment, Spurs are adamant that they will not loan out Hojbjerg.

Spurs would prefer a permanent deal for the Denmark international midfielder, who cost the North London club £15 million (The Guardian) in transfer fees when they signed him from Southampton in 2020.

The midfielder has made five starts and 15 substitute appearances in the Premier League for Spurs this season.

Hojbjerg has made 238 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career. The Denmark international has scored 12 goals and given 15 assists in those games.

My View: Tottenham stance on Hojbjerg blow for Newcastle

Newcastle United have been linked with a move for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. Journalist Aaron Stokes has reported that the Magpies could try to sign the midfielder on a loan deal.

However, Spurs’ stance means that Newcastle could struggle to get a deal done for the midfielder.

I do not see any reason why Tottenham would make Newcastle better by sending them an experienced player such as Hojbjerg, and that too on a mere loan deal.

After all, Newcastle and Tottenham are in the race for a top-four finish in the Premier League table this season.
