Pierre-Emile Højbjerg ‘can still leave’ Tottenham in the January transfer window, even after the injury to Rodrigo Bentancur.
That’s according to TuttoMercatoWeb, who say Juventus ‘continue to work’ on convincing Daniel Levy to let him leave on a loan.
Højbjerg has been heavily linked with a move away from Tottenham in the winter window after barely featuring under Ange Postecoglou in the first half of the season.
Several clubs in Europe are believed to be eyeing up a move, including Juventus, who need midfield reinforcements after losing Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli to long-term bans.
However, reports over the last week have indicated that a sale has been ruled out after the unfortunate injury to Rodrigo Bentancur against Aston Villa threatened to leave Tottenham short int the coming months, particularly when players leave for the Africa Cup of Nations.
Injuries and suspensions have seen Højbjerg return of late too, further strengthening the idea that he won’t be leaving in January.
TMW say otherwise, though, and argue that he ‘can still leave’ in the winter window but Tottenham won’t sanction a loan deal and are only interested in a permanent exit.
That’s something Juventus are yet to commit to and so they are simply remaining ‘attentive to developments’ at this point, perhaps hoping to convince Levy to change his mind.
Højbjerg is one of several options they are looking at as they plan for January, with no firm decision made on any as yet.
