Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho tipped to sell numerous players with Hojbjerg transfer agreed

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has been urged to sell several players to fund his summer spending budget. Spurs are closing in on Southampton midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. The Denmark ace set to become Mourinho's first summer signing. The 25-year-old underwent his medical at Tottenham on Monday ahead of his move to London. Tottenham are set to send Kyle Walker-Peters in the other direction to cheapen the deal. Former Spurs star Paul Robinson says Mourinho will get rid of the deadwood this summer and sell numerous players. “I’ve always said this is Jose starting to shuffle his pack,” he told Football Insider. “We’ve known about the financial implications that Spurs have suffered in this lockdown period and economic climate. It was always going to be if players were coming in, players were going to have to leave. "This is the first one in. This is Jose moulding his squad, moulding a side for what he wants next year and it’ll be interesting to see who he doesn’t want. We’ve seen Walker-Peters go in the opposite direction. He’s one that’s surplus to requirements and that’s part funded the Hojbjerg deal. It seems a good bit of business. “This is Jose at his best but he’s going to have to work very hard with his scouting network if his budget isn’t going to be the size he wants because his squad is going to be very unbalanced. It’s him making his own changes and his own assault on the squad, if you like. I suspect we’ll see quite a few leaving.” Source: Express
