Fulham are readying a bid for Tottenham star Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg after Man United knocked back a £17m Scott McTominay offer, sources have told Football Insider.
Spurs have told the 28-year-old midfielder that he is free to find a new club following the £40million signing of Archie Gray from Leeds United.
While Gray may also be utilised at right-back as well as in midfield, Spurs are already well stocked in central midfield going into the new Premier League season.
After being rebuffed by Manchester United in their attempt to sign McTominay, Fulham have turned their attention to the Dane.
The London club are seriously lacking in midfield numbers. Only Tom Cairney, Harrison Reed, and Sasa Lukic are capable of holding down the fort in the centre of the park.
At 28 years old, not only Hojbjerg add a wealth of Premier League experience to a small Fulham squad, but he would be able to fit seamlessly into the starting eleven.
Hojbjerg only started nine of his 36 Premier League appearances for Spurs last season, Ange Postecoglou has preferred Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr ahead of him since taking over.
Despite finding Premier League game time hard to come by, Hojbjerg started every single game of Denmark in their Euro 2024 campaign.
