Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has joined Olympique de Marseille on loan with an option to buy, both clubs said on Monday.
While financial details were not disclosed by either club, British media reported that Marseille have agreed to pay around 16 million pounds ($21 million) for the 28-year-old, who has a year left on his contract with Spurs, if they opt to make the move permanent.
The Danish international has made 184 appearances and scored 10 goals for the North London club. He joined Spurs in 2020 after a four-year spell at Southampton, having previously played for Bayern Munich.
Hojbjerg slipped down the pecking order at Spurs last season, with Pape Matar Sarr, Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur favoured in midfield.
