The 27-year-old star is being lined up as a possible substitute for Luka Modric at Actual Madrid and people claims have been ramped up after the 2 went head-to-head on the worldwide stage earlier within the week.
Hojbjerg lined up for Denmark of their 2-1 defeat to Croatia however regardless of the loss, the previous Bayern Munich man appeared to have caught the attention.
Danish outlet BT had this to say of their post-match scores column:
‘Possibly now we have the substitute for Luka Modric at Actual Madrid proper right here. The Spanish membership is alleged to be in love with him, and we are able to simply perceive that. Nominated for participant of the month within the Premier League, however sadly, it wasn’t at this time that he acquired the Spaniards to place half or a complete billion for him. Though that needs to be his value.’
Throughout the summer time switch window, the LaLiga giants have been mooted with a transfer for the Spurs warrior.
The Telegraph’s chief soccer correspondent Jason Burt claimed that he was being lined up as a successor to Casemiro, who joined Premier League Manchester United, while The Solar’s Tom Barclay revealed to GIVEMESPORT that supervisor Carlo Ancelotti is certainly an enormous fan.
However because the Danish media counsel, Hojbjerg has been extra Modric than Casemiro underneath the stewardship of Antonio Conte.
The 37-year-old veteran has arguably been one of many Lilywhites’ greatest-ever midfield abilities, having been in contrast to Paul Scholes by ex-Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson for his skill to ‘management video games’.
Though his days are actually numbered. It ought to hardly be a shock to see Galacticos president Florentino Perez return to chairman Daniel Levy for his successor because the Dane has been exceptional.
Is Hojbjerg untouchable at Spurs?
YES!
NO!
Hojbjerg has been untouchable in Conte’s beginning XI, taking part in extra minutes (810) than anybody else, with Hugo Lloris and Eric Dier the one different two to play 100% of Spurs’ video games this time period.
That energy to fully management a sport is actually within the £100k-per-week Dane’s locker as he ranks inside the highest 10% of all midfielders throughout Europe for progressive passes (6.02 per 90) during the last 12 months, through FBref.
That is larger than a few of his positional friends within the Premier League, such because the aforementioned Casemiro, N’Golo Kante, Fabinho and even Rodri.
In the meantime, Modric has averaged solely 0.3 extra progressive passes per 90 than the Tottenham gem and the pair each common round 70 or extra passes per 90, in addition to a 90% passing accuracy, making the comparability all that sweeter.
Below Conte, Hojbjerg has gotten ahead much more, having delivered three targets and 5 assists from 42 appearances – that’s three extra direct contributions than in 9 fewer minutes underneath Jose Mourinho, per Transfermarkt.
Aptly dubbed a midfield “monster” by one-time Denmark and Derby County midfielder Morten Bisgaard, Tottenham could nicely have a brand new Modric within the type of Hojbjerg.
This time, although, Levy should look to garner a charge bigger than £30m, having value simply half that (£15m) in the summertime of 2020.
AND in different information, Spurs missed out on Conte’s new Bastoni in “aggressive” £26m gem – simply think about him and Romero…
