Tottenham are willing to let Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg leave next month and Juventus are ready to pounce for the Danish midfielder.

The 28-year-old had been a key figure in North London since his arrival from Southampton in August 2020, but has fell down the pecking order this term under coach Ange Postecoglou, mostly coming off the bench as a rotation option.

Juventus and Napoli have both been keeping a close eye on Hojbjerg ahead of the January transfer window and Tottenham are open to letting him leave on loan, but want an obligation to buy clause attached to the deal.

As reported by Calciomercato.com, Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri has identified Hojbjerg as his top option to bolster the midfield next month, ahead of Manchester City’s Kalvin Phillips, and talks with Tottenham are expected to progress in the coming days.

Napoli are unconvinced about the idea of an obligation to buy clause, but the Old Lady haven’t lost their interest and will now try to find an agreement with their Spurs counterparts.

Hojbjerg is happy to make the move to Serie A, wanting to play regular football ahead of next summer’s European Championship.
