Rodrigo Bentancur has built up quite the midfield partnership with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg since joining Tottenham from Juventus at the end of the January transfer window. Slotting straight into the team and playing a major role in the team's Champions League finish, the Uruguayan has started the current campaign where he left off back in May.
Once again such an integral part of the Tottenham midfield alongside the Dane despite Yves Bissouma's move to the club and Oliver Skipp's return from injury, the pair demonstrated their brilliant understanding just over a week ago against Everton when the 25-year-old teed up Hojbjerg for the crucial second goal. As well as hailing the ex-Southampton man, Bentancur has also waxed lyrical about fellow "high-quality midfielders" Bissouma, Skipp, Harvey White and Pape Matar Sarr.
"We get on really well," explained Bentancur in Tottenham's official matchday programme for the Newcastle game. "As I said before, the players have all welcomed me really well, and Pierre has been fantastic with me too.
