"Exactly what Mourinho wants" - Alasdair Gold delivers verdict about midfielder

Journalist Alasdair Gold has delivered his verdict about Tottenham’s potential signing of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. It has been reported that 25-year-old Hojbjerg was to undergo his Spurs medical on Monday. It is said that Spurs and Southampton had agreed on a deal for the midfielder last week. When talking about Hojbjerg, Gold said that he is the sort of signing that Mourinho wants. Gold said: “I’ve seen some people getting a little bit: is it that great? Is it that big a signing? Why is everyone getting excited? I think the key thing about him is that he’s pretty much just exactly what Mourinho wants. That’s the most important thing right now. We talk about Tottenham Hotspur buying players over the years and maybe buying players that the fans want, or the fans wanting certain transfer targets. "The most important thing is when a manager identifies a player and he wants them, you go out and get them. Doesn’t always work, like [Tanguy] Ndombele last summer. That was [Mauricio] Pochettino’s top target – hasn’t worked yet, hopefully, it will in the long-term. “Mourinho’s been very clear. Spurs have sounded out Southampton about Hojbjerg in January. It wasn’t the right time to move, now it is. He is doing his medical today at Hotspur Way this morning.” Source: Thisisfutbol
