Tottenham Hotspur intend on keeping Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg next season despite the £25million arrival of Yves Bissouma from Brighton.
Bissouma has arrived on a four-year-deal from the Seagulls, as Antonio Conte made moves to strengthen his midfield ahead of next season as his side prepare for a return to Champions League football. But the arrival of the highly-rated Mali international cast doubt over Hojbjerg’s future in north London, despite him being a key man for the Italian last term.
After a tricky start to the 2021/22 Premier League campaign, like the majority of the Spurs first-team, Hojbjerg revived himself for the second half of the season following Conte’s appointment in November and became a pivotal part of the side that went on to secure a top four finish. The 26-year-old missed just two of Tottenham's 38 top flight fixtures and made 48 appearances across all competitions last season, and was only behind Harry Kane in terms of playing time at Spurs, with 3,986 minutes played, in which he recorded three goals and four assists.
