Tottenham fans rage over 'utterly terrible' Hojbjerg deal as new details emerge

Tottenham fans are torn about the Pierre-Emile Højbjerg to Marseille deal as they debate about whether the club should have landed a bigger fee for the defender.

Højbjerg is close to joining the French giants for a reported £12 million, leaving many fans speculating about whether the club got a good deal for the 28-year-old.

Fulham were interested in the Denmark international but they now look set to miss out on his signing.

Following the £40 million signing of Archie Gray, Højbjerg has been deemed surplus to requirements by the club who were happy to let him leave.

Tottenham fans unimpressed by Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg deal

Højbjerg only started nine of his 36 Premier League appearances for Spurs last season, Ange Postecoglou has preferred Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr ahead of him since taking over.

With just one year left on his contract, Spurs were reluctant to offer the 28-year-old a new deal with younger prospects emerging ahead of him.

Despite finding Premier League game time hard to come by, Højbjerg started every single game for Denmark in their Euro 2024 campaign.

Supporters are now suggesting that Spurs should have gotten more for the combative midfielder and have compared the asking price to that of full-back Emerson Royal.

£11million for Hojbjerg

What an utterly terrible deal for us …— Alex (@xAlexTHFC) July 20, 2024

Don’t particularly think the price for Hojbjerg is dreadful. Less than 12 months on his contract and club/player made it clear they wanted to part ways.

You can’t be going around the market desperately trying to sell something and expect a massive fee! #thfc— Alex Mitton (@Alexmitton10) July 21, 2024

Fee for Hojbjerg just just shy of £12 million. One year left and he and the club had agreed he had no future at Spurs. Nothing advanced with Lo Celso but club pushing for him to move on. Meanwhile they are looking to accelerate with 3 potential inbounds.— Paul O Keefe (@pokeefe1) July 20, 2024

Awful business once again from Spurs.

This equates to around £10m…for a player as good as Pierre in today’s market.

They need to improve massively at squad planning, because they leave themselves in positions where they massively undersell players due to contract length etc.… https://t.co/lhEw7Cx05T— Harry Brooks (@hbrooks_coach) July 20, 2024

Marseille watched him dump them out the UCL and went: "we'll have a bit of that." ????

Strange deal for all involved and an underwhelming fee to say the least. But a player that had no future under Ange is gone. That's only a good thing. https://t.co/3w8VXjRWu4 pic.twitter.com/YjffIltCN9— Talking THFC (@TalkingTHFC) July 21, 2024

So we bought Hojbjerg for £15m 4 years ago, got great service out of him and our now set to receive £17m all in for selling him with a year left on his deal (at 29 years old…)

Why are people so mad about this ???? Finally being ruthless with our sales this summer which we need https://t.co/z71Ffuw5ps— George (@georgeachillea) July 21, 2024

£17m much better and closer to his worth with a year left than £12m but even £12m while being lower, would’ve been calm.

I’m a fan of Hojbjerg and believe he’s better than most like to admit but it’s been clear for nearly 2 years now that he’s not good enough to take us forward…— Tobs #TouchlineFracas (@tapintobs) July 21, 2024

An extremely dependable and professional player, who represented great value for the minuscule fee he was signed for.

Thank you for everything, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg! ???????????? pic.twitter.com/QDgnGCcxHk— The Spurs Express (@TheSpursExpress) July 21, 2024

We seriously need to clear the decks
Now Spurs Twitter in meltdown over the Hojbjerg fee
We really are a strange bunch !— Peter Rainey (@Raineyballs) July 21, 2024

????| #Tottenham have also inserted a sell-on clause into the Hojbjerg deal, meaning they will take a portion of Hojbjerg’s next transfer fee.@TomAllnutt_ pic.twitter.com/xm81NdkYsM— The Spurs Express (@TheSpursExpress) July 21, 2024
