Marseille close on £17m deal for Tottenham's Hojbjerg

French club Marseille are in advanced talks to sign Tottenham and Denmark midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

The 28-year-old is believed to be ready to leave north London and is available for about £17m.

Discussions are continuing over payment terms, but both sides expect the deal to go through.

Hojbjerg joined Spurs in 2020 in a £15m deal from Southampton, when Jose Mourinho was in charge.

He made 39 appearances for the club last season but only 10 of those were starts as Ange Postecoglou favoured Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr in central midfield.
