Report: Tottenham receive a £6.7m bid for midfielder but are likely to reject it

Takvim report that Fenerbahce have now launched an opening offer for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg but the bid falls short of Tottenham’s asking price.

Hojbjerg has been linked with Fenerbahce

Since Jose Mourinho took over as the head coach of Fenerbahce, a number of outlets have suggested that the Turkish club have made Hojbjerg their top target.

This includes a recent update by Sabah, which claims that the former Tottenham boss wants the Dane to be his first signing and that contacts have already been made regarding a deal for the player.

Fenerbache bid £6.7m for Hojbjerg

If Takvim’s latest update is to be believed, Fenerbahce have tabled their first offer for Hojbjerg, with the bid thought to be worth around €8m (£6.7m).

It is revealed that this bid is expected to be sent back by Ange Postecoglou’s men as it falls well short of their €15m (£12.6m) asking price.

The publication suggests that the Istanbul club could respond by sending Spurs a second offer of €10m (£8.4m) plus bonuses to get this deal over the line.

It is alleged that Jose Mourinho’s men are also willing to offer the 28-year-old a contract of €4.5m (£3.8m) a season to come to Sukru Saracoglu Stadium.

Spurs Web Opinion

I think Tottenham will be looking for a fee in the £15m-£20m range for Hojbjerg.

Even if Fenerbahce are willing to pay that, I am not too sure the experienced midfielder would be too keen on moving to Turkey at this stage of his career.
