Following reports saying that Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is not keen on signing a new contract with Tottenham Hotspur, we now see the situation drawing the interest from a former Spurs boss.
Il Romanista today features a piece claiming that due to recent news about the contract extension getting rejected, AS roma are ‘now on alert’ about the midfielder.
The story claims that José Mourinho admires Hojbjerg ‘a lot’, and that’s precisely the reason why the Giallorossi now follow his potential exit from Tottenham.
It’s recalled how Mourinho often praised the 28-year-old, and Hojbjerg was also a fan of the Portuguese manager, and that’s why they could ‘work together again’.
Roma are said to be just following the situation, and for now, there’s no information on them opening talks with Tottenham for the move as of yet.
It’s recently been claimed that Juventus are also keen on Hojbjerg, so we may see an Italian race for his signing soon.
