Doesn't seem to fit the type of football we want to play - probably too late to change for Spurs but Hojbjerg for Denmark playing further forward than he does for Spurs where he seems to be considered a DM looks a far better player in his Denmark role than for Spurs.

Its clear he wants to move to a different club, and I think he needs to go with our thanks - its only a couple of years ago that he was consistently our best CM.

Good, atleast we can get some good money for him if he does well in the Euros.
 
Played better today than he ever has for spurs. Hopefully generated more interest off the back of it.
His performance was exactly how he plays for Spurs.

The context is completely missing, as we don't play, nor do we want to play like Denmark. Denmark were by far the better team than England, with PEH at its heart but now look in isolation at Denmark's performance and how they played, their style of football etc

indeed he plays plenty of strong games for us. He has alot of mistakes in him when asked to play DM but i've always regarded him as a technically good player. Better than the likes of Connor Gallagher. Just needs to move to a club more suited to him, not ange ball

Yep. Still getting my head around what Ange is specifically looking for from our central mid, but it would be a player who can take the ball under pressure and not lose it, a player who can carry/progress the ball and one who can pass within two touches, off the ball they need to be athletic and mobile.

He's dependable and always works his socks off, he's just not the profile of midfielder Ange is looking for.

PEH is a very good player and why he has a lot of interest from a lot of Clubs around Europe. He's very key in our rebuild because we should be getting a decent fee for him.

He's not looked a technically good player for us at all though? He can't play under pressure, can't play on the turn and his basic passing leaves a lot to be desired/is poor - technically good players don't have those negatives to their game.

He can pick out a peach of a creative pass from time to time and can time runs in to the box/find space around the box to shoot/has a good shot on him.
 
I've never thought he's the worst player we've had, there was a period under Conte I think it was where he was excellent for us.

It's funny how some of our better performances last season come when Hojberg either started or came off the bench. He's a 7/10 player most weeks.

His time with us must be up though, one year left on contract, isn't suited to this type of football week in week out.

He's always respected the club, never had long periods out injured so for me I don't really have any issues with him.

The more you describe the requirements the more it's sounds like a fucking unicorn. I am not hopeful.

Pierre-Emile #Højbjerg is keen to leave Spurs this summer with one year left on his contract and his new agency Unique Sports Group:
Dortmund, still pushing to sign Pascal Groß as #BVB want to get the deal done and sealed soon.

Højbjerg, one of several options if a transfer of Groß fails
I asked PEH on Saturday if he will be playing in Dortmund/this stadium in the new season? „It's a great stadium. Now I'll take a vacation first, then we'll talk about the rest“, he told Sky.

Thomas Delaney commented on Sky: „I would recommend (the move) both - Borussia Dortmund and Pierre. He’s an amazing player. For me he’s a top international central midfielder.“
