Several clubs in Saudi Arabia have displayed interest in acquiring the services of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg before the closure of the transfer window this month.

The future of the Danish midfielder has been uncertain for some time, with various clubs being linked to him in recent months. Presently, several sides in the Saudi Pro League are reportedly eyeing a move for him.

Hojbjerg notably featured prominently in the Tottenham lineup under the management of Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho. However, Ange Postecoglou’s arrival signaled a shift, indicating that Hojbjerg would no longer be a regular starter at Tottenham.

Amid these developments, reports suggest that multiple Saudi clubs are considering last-minute attempts to secure his signature. It’s been indicated that Tottenham’s chairman, Daniel Levy, has been actively seeking potential suitors for Hojbjerg, and the Saudi clubs are willing to meet the club’s reported £20 million asking price.

Given that Hojbjerg has entered the final 18 months of his contract, he is reportedly open to a departure from Tottenham this month. Although he may not be a prominent figure in Ange Postecoglou’s plans, the current absence of Pape Matar Sarr and Yves Bissouma, who are on international duty at AFCON, could necessitate Hojbjerg’s inclusion in the squad as an emergency option.

Should Tottenham opt to sell Hojbjerg, they would be left with only two available options in central midfield until the return of their African duo to North London, a situation that poses a considerable risk. Therefore, retaining Hojbjerg until the end of the season could serve as a prudent move for Spurs.
