As Juventus engage in a strong chase for a new midfielder in the winter market, Tottenham’s Pierre Emile Højbjerg is always named as one of the strongest names in the list.
The Old Lady has also been linked to Manchester City’s Kalvin Phillips, but as newspaper Corriere Della Sera today writes about that mission, it seems the Spurs player is still the number one.
Their story starts by claiming that Juventus manager Maximiliano Allegri is ‘not convinced’ by Phillips, as he’s aiming a player with ‘different characteristics’.
That’s where Højbjerg comes in, with the outlet saying the Tottenham player is the ‘most welcome figure’ for the Bianconeri manager.
Reports from Italy have been claiming that Spurs are now more open to letting their midfielder leave, with Calciomercato saying that Spurs have set their price at €25m, while Juventus’ preference would be for a loan deal.
