It’s 2020, Liverpool are the Premier League champions, PSG are in the Champions League final and Tottenham have finally made a signing. Anything is possible this year. The club have secured the services of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg from Southampton for around £15 million, with Kyle Walker-Peters going the other way for around £12 million. While this won’t grab too many headlines, the Dane could prove to be an incredibly shrewd signing for Jose Mourinho.
Described as a player who could be “Bayern Munich’s Busquets”, at 17, by then manager Pep Guardiola himself, it is fair to say that there were high expectations for Hojbjerg. While he may not have completely lived up to those expectations yet, being Southampton captain at 23 is not too shabby.
