Ange Postecoglou sets Tottenham plan to replace Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg with £50m Chelsea transfer

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg could become Tottenham's second summer departure with the midfielder strongly linked to Atletico Madrid. Harry Winks has already left the club to complete a £10million move to Leicester and Hojbjerg could be the next man to depart with Ange Postecoglou making his transfer plans clear.

The new Spurs boss has already made five permanent signings with Manor Solomon the latest to arrive on a free transfer. Dejan Kulusevski and Pedro Porro were both on loan for the 2022/23 season but clauses in their respective contracts have been activated.

Guglielmo Vicario and James Maddison are the remaining two purchases with Spurs now set to turn their attention onto recruiting in defence. Micky van de Ven and Edmond Tapsoba are the top two targets with a deal for the Netherlands international far more advanced than talks with Bayer Leverkusen for Tapsoba.
