Tottenham Hotspur is facing a challenge as they navigate the possible departure of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, but chairman Daniel Levy is determined not to let the Danish midfielder leave on the cheap.

Reports suggest that Premier League clubs are eyeing a move for Hojbjerg, and while the Danish international has been linked with an exit, Spurs are not open to accepting cut-price deals. The 28-year-old, who joined Tottenham from Southampton for £15 million in 2020, is in demand, with Ajax being among the interested parties.

Sky Sports News indicates that any loan offers for Hojbjerg will be outright rejected by Tottenham. However, the club could entertain deals that include an obligation to buy, emphasizing Levy’s commitment to securing a reasonable fee for the experienced midfielder.

Tottenham’s strategic approach stems from their desire to bring in a younger replacement for Hojbjerg. While the Danish player is considered a quality Premier League asset, the club is keen on ensuring a smooth transition by offloading him for a fair value.

Hojbjerg, currently at what many consider the peak of his career, stands as a player who could potentially be a star for another top English side. However, Tottenham’s ambition to break even on their initial investment in Hojbjerg this January faces challenges due to the cautious spending climate in this transfer window.

In the backdrop of one of the quietest winter windows in recent years, Premier League clubs are showing reluctance to make significant financial commitments for high-earning players. As a result, Tottenham may find themselves reconsidering their initial stance on loan offers, with the possibility of a temporary transfer becoming a viable option for Hojbjerg to secure a move during this transfer window.
