Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is on the way out of Tottenham this summer and has emerged as an interesting opportunity for Milan, reports detail.

The 28-year-old Danish midfielder has just a year left on his contract with Spurs and is keen to depart in the coming months, struggling to show his best in Ange Postecoglou’s system in North London. He saw 1509 minutes of action across 39 matches.

Milan are on the hunt for a physical midfielder capable of playing in front of the defence this summer, wanting to bolster Paulo Fonseca’s squad, and a number of candidates have already been identified including Feyenoord’s Mats Wieffer and Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana.
