Danish outlet Ekstra Bladet have waxed lyrical about Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg after his performance against Kazakhstan, labelling him as the ‘heart’ of Kasper Hjulmand’s side.
Hojbjerg, who was a pillar of Tottenham’s midfield in his first three seasons at the club, has fallen down the pecking order at Spurs, having not made a single Premier League start so far this season.
Ange Postecoglou has primarily used the 28-year-old as an impact substitute on the bench, and unsurprisingly, it has emerged over recent weeks that the midfielder is looking for an exit route from the club in January.
Alasdair Gold said on the Gold and Guest Talk Tottenham podcast last week that he fully expects Hojbjerg to push for a move when the transfer window opens, while it has been widely reported over the last few weeks that Juventus are readying a move for the experienced Spurs star (LondonWorld).

Hojbjerg continues to run the show for Denmark
Despite his lack of game time at Tottenham, the former Southampton man has continued to thrive on the international stage, with the midfielder earning rave reviews for his display in Denmark’s 3-1 win over Kazakhstan.
Ekstra Bladet handed the midfielder a four out of five and wrote about his performance: “You could write it after most international matches.
“Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is the heart of the Danish team with his energy and presence. He was above the visitors constantly, delivering both with and without the ball.”
Spurs Web Opinion
It is a huge positive for Spurs that Hojbjerg is getting minutes under his belt for his national side and performing well, given that he will likely have to start against Fulham on Monday, with Yves Bissouma suspended for the clash.
