Pierre Emile Hojbjerg and how he fits in at Tottenham, a thread.

Spurs have been linked with the player who would seemingly be seen as their potential solution at DM.

In watching Hojbjerg, what really stood out to me was his tenacity, he always fights for loose balls
His aggressiveness and tenacity would bring some needed bite to Spurs midfield, his 2.4 tackles per game and 1.5 interceptions per game (via whoscored) would lead all Spurs midfielders this season if he was here.

For comparison, Harry Winks has 1.3 tackles and 1 interception
per game, and Sissoko has 1.1 tackles per game and .7 interceptions per game

He will be able to play a more defensive role at Spurs if signed, as with Giovani Lo Celso and Tanguy Ndombele in front of him, he'll likely be allowed to play further back and won't have to worry about
getting forward as much, and will be able to really play to his strengths and be the defensive presence Spurs need.

Overall, hes a very sound player who would be an upgrade on what we have currently, even if he isn't as good as other potential targets like Denis Zakaria,
given our likely financial limitations this summer because of COVID-19, he's a very sound option.
