Atletico Madrid have opened talks with Tottenham over a swoop for midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
Mail Sport understands the Denmark international wants the opportunity to join the La Liga side, who will be playing in the Champions League next season.
Hojbjerg is a firm target for Atletico boss Diego Simeone who has instructed his recruitment staff to explore a move for the 27-year-old, who is also attracting interest from Germany.
So far Tottenham have shown an unwillingness to do business - but sources have indicated that discussions are ongoing to make the move happen.
Hojbjerg is believed to be actively open to moving to the Spanish capital this summer.
He has been a key member of the Tottenham squad since his arrival from Southampton in 2020 - making a total of 145 first team appearances in those three seasons.
Bayern Munich have been linked with the defensive midfielder this summer, but it is understood Atletico’s interest is most advanced as things stand.

But do u think the coach is the problem?
I'm not sure if they had started well last season it would have been different...maybe I saw a different style of play after the world cup dat suit dem...if they keep on with dat it's really going to be tough cos they now have the players to challenge for the title

It appears he is not going to fit into the new coach's style and he's willing to go. He should be allowed to go.
