“HE IS LEAVING”: TOTTENHAM CONFIRMS THAT KEY MILDFIELDER WOULD LEAVE NEXT SUMMER DUE TO…
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg ‘won’t be at Tottenham next season’ – sources
Tottenham do not expect Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to be at the club next season, sources have told Football Insider.
The club were willing to let the midfielder depart last summer and in the January transfer window, but they wanted a permanent exit rather than a loan.
Now, Football Insider has learned that a move in the next transfer window is highly likely amid strong interest from Serie A clubs. It is said by a source with knowledge of his situation that he “won’t be at Tottenham next season”.
It is believed that the Lilywhites value Hojbjerg, whose current deal expires at the end of next season, at between £15-18million.
Football Insider revealed last month (8 January) that Hojbjerg’s move to Italian giants Juventus collapsed after they baulked at Spurs’ loan fee demands.
Tottenham to accept Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg offer
Despite not featuring in Ange Postecoglou’s long-term plans in N17, the Denmark international has racked up 27 appearances in all competitions this season – but just eight starts.
He has frequently filled in for absent players amid their injury-stricken campaign, but Tottenham are expected to be active next summer to bolster their midfield.
As revealed by Football Insider (19 February), Tottenham and Newcastle United are keeping tabs on Everton central midfielder James Garner.
Sources have also told Football Insider (17 February) that they are set to be backed “hugely” in the summer window ahead of a spending blitz following Postecoglou’s impressive debut campaign.
Tottenham slipped to fifth in the Premier League table after their 2-1 defeat against Wolves on Saturday (17 February).
They are next in action at home against Crystal Palace next month (2 March).
In other news, Tottenham chiefs ‘absolutely concerned’ Ange Postecoglou could quit for Liverpool.

Everton set ‘big’ James Garner price tag as Tottenham and Newcastle United swoop – Sources
Everton are keen to turn a profit on midfielder James Garner as they anticipate bids in the summer window, sources have told Football Insider.
Football Insider revealed on Monday (19 February) that Tottenham and Newcastle United are keeping tabs on Garner, 22, ahead of a potential swoop.
A well-placed source has now told Football Insider that Garner “ticks a lot of boxes” for both clubs with the off-season rapidly approaching.
Spurs and Newcastle will be in the market for midfield reinforcements this summer.
Garner joined Everton from Man United in 2022 for £15million.
Everton want ‘big’ Garner profit as Tottenham and Newcastle prepare to go head-to-head
A well-placed source has told Football Insider that the Toffees will be keen to bank a “big” profit on the midfield star and will hold out for around £20-25million.
The former Nottingham Forest loanee will have two years remaining on his contract in June.
Young English players are at a premium, meaning Everton can hold out for a big-money fee for Garner despite their dire financial situation.
It is believed Sean Dyche’s side will face a real battle to keep the versatile midfielder in the summer window – especially if they suffer relegation to the Championship.
He has made 22 Premier League starts in 30 appearances across all competitions in the 2023-24 campaign, notching two goals and one assist.
Everton’s ability to demand a big fee for Garner could depend on their top-flight status.
The Toffees, who were deducted 10 points earlier this season, moved out of the relegation zone on goal difference on Monday (19 February) after drawing 1-1 against Crystal Palace.
