Report: Tottenham Hotspur have submitted an offer for Southampton midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg

It is an open secret that Tottenham Hotspur are looking to bolster their midfield in the summer transfer window.

Jose Mourinho wants to add a solid defensive midfielder in the summer and has earmarked Southampton midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg as a potential option.

Hojbjerg has just one year left on his current £50k-per-week deal and he is yet to sign a new contract. Moreover, he has openly expressed his desire to play at a higher level.

Last week, Southampton removed Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg as their captain. It probably gives an indication that the 24-year-old midfielder will not be staying at the club beyond the summer.
