Pierre Emile Hojbjerg opens up on Christian Eriksen return amid Tottenham transfer rumours

Tottenham face Brentford on Saturday evening, meaning they will come up against Christian Eriksen for the first time since his return to the Premier League. Antonio Conte's side are still battling for a place inside the top four and are currently occupying the fourth spot, with six games to go.

Pierre Emile Hojbjerg is one Tottenham player who has seen improvement under the Italian. The Dane started the season alongside Oliver Skipp but after the youngster's injury and the arrival of Rodrigo Bentancur, the 26-year-old is now playing alongside the Uruguayan.

Hojbjerg has had some inconsistent form but has provided leadership in the middle of the field and produced some solid displays. The midfielder knows Eriksen well, playing with him for the national team.
