Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is expected to leave Spurs

It is no secret that Hojbjerg’s four-year stay at Tottenham is expected to come to an end this summer, with the Dane having just a year left on his deal.

The 28-year-old is currently focused on Denmark’s European Championship campaign but speculation over his future continues to run rife.

The likes of Atletico Madrid (Daily Mail), Napoli (Corriere dello Sport) and Fenerbahce (Takvim) have all been credited with an interest in the midfielder over recent weeks.

Fulham enter race for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg

GiveMeSport have now claimed that Fulham are also eyeing a move for the experienced Tottenham man.

The report explains that the Cottagers are keen to add a number six to their squad to replace Bayern Munich-bound Joao Palhinha, and they have identified Hojbejrg and Manchester City’s Kalvin Phillips as their two top targets.

However, the publication adds that a move to Craven Cottage ‘does not seem likely’ for the former Southampton man at this stage.

We know that Fulham have held a long-term interest in Hojbjerg, having explored a deal for him last summer as well.

However, the Dane would probably want to join a club where he can win silverware, which is why Napoli, Atletico or Juve appear more likely destinations for him.
