LONDON – Tottenham Hotspur landed their first new player in the summer transfer market 2020. He is Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg who was bought from Southampton at a cost of 16.6 million euros (approximately Rp.286 billion).
Tottenham immediately tied Hojbjerg with a long-term contract of five years. The player who can play as a central, defensive and attacking midfielder is likely to earn a place in Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham first team.
Mourinho has certainly examined Hojbjerg’s abilities before signing him from Southampton. The Portuguese passport tactician seems to have prepared a strategy with Hojbjerg as one of his pawns in the match.
Hojbjerg can play in three different positions as a midfielder. However, the Danish player played a more frequent role as a central midfielder at Southampton last season.

The Southampton captain is the player who connects the ball from behind to front. That task Hojbjerg was able to do very well. He helped Southampton to end the Premier League in 11th position.
