Danish international Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has been stripped of his captaincy as rumours regarding a move to Tottenham have heated up.
He is in the final year of his contract and had an agreement with manager Ralph Hasenhuttl that if he didn’t extend his contract with the club, he wouldn’t be the captain anymore.
English midfielder James Ward-Prowse is set to take over the captaincy for the remainder of the season. Hojbjerg arrived from Bayern in 2016 and has made 129 appearances for The Saints scoring five and assisting six.
