Juventus’ interest in Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg became one of the big rumours in the Italian media in the past few weeks, and despite the lack of big updates, newspaper Gazzetta Dello Sport features an interesting fresh story on this pursuit.
Their article starts by claiming that an Old Lady emissary was sent to watch the player in action in Denmark’s match against Kazakhstan at the weekend.
It’s pointed out that it would have been easier to fly to London than to Copenhagen to see Hojbjerg play. The problem is that it’d be quite difficult to watch the midfielder having 90 minutes on the pitch with Tottenham.
The story makes it clear that the player is far from getting enough minutes at Spurs, but despite this situation, Juventus are still not expected to have an easy time getting that signing done.
Tottenham are said to be demanding €30m for Hojbjerg, and they ‘don’t seem attracted’ to loaning him out, especially because of the loss of player for the Africa Cup of Nations. The Bianconeri are set to try to convince them, the Italian media believes (or seemingly hopes), but know it’ll be a tough negotiation.
