The January Winter Transfer Market is almost over. This year’s winter window closes on February 1 local time.
Tottenham’s last remaining options are the sale of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and the arrival of Antonio Nusa, an 18-year-old newcomer who plays for Belgian League club Brugge. Hojbjerg’s departure could be the final shake-up in the defensive midfield.
French outlet L’Equipe featured Hojbjerg on Aug. 28 (ET). French Ligue 1 side Olympique Lyonnais have been linked with a move. “Lyon are still interested in Hojbjerg and Everton loanee Arnaut Danjuma of Villarreal,” L’Equipe reported.
Lyon were a prominent Ligue 1 club in the early 2002s. 온라인카지노 They had won seven consecutive Ligue 1 titles, including the 2001-2002 season.
This season, however, they are in the relegation zone in 16th place. After 19 rounds of Ligue 1, they have just 16 points (W4 D4 L11). The team is in desperate need of reinforcements to turn things around.
Denmark international Hojbjerg arrived at Tottenham in August 2020 for a fee of £15 million.
He was a regular midfielder under Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte. However, he fell off after Enze Postecoglou took over. He was relegated to a backup role behind Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr.
Hojbjerg made 20 appearances in the English Premier League (EPL) this season. However, he has only started five of them. He’ll need consistent playing time for Euro 2024.
He made a surprise start in the FA Cup round of 32 against Man City on July 27. However, he failed to inspire confidence with a patchy performance.
Last month, it was claimed that Tottenham had set a £20 million price tag on his transfer. If he leaves, Spurs could use a new midfielder.
However, it’s not a ‘fire sale’. With Bissouma and Sarr away at the Africa Cup of Nations, there are plenty of options in defensive midfield as injuries continue to return.
Tottenham have been consistently linked with a move for Connor Gallagher (Chelsea). It is unlikely to happen in the January transfer window. 바카라사이트 순위 Having been knocked out of the League Cup and then the FA Cup, the EPL is Spurs’ only remaining competition. Spurs have room to maneuver.
Spurs will make another attempt to sign Gallagher later this season.
