Tottenham are in a dire need of a holding midfielder and they have been linked with some players. The defensive midfield has been an issue for Tottenham since Mousa Dembele’s departure for Guangzhou Evergrande in 2019.
Spurs are linked with Barcelona star Rakitic to solved their midfield conundrum. However, another player who has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham is Southampton’s Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, a cheaper and younger option than Rakitic. Hojbjerg will be in last year of his contract at St. Mary’s and therefore Spurs wouldn’t have to break the bank for him.
