Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg was in Euro 2024 action for Denmark against England on Thursday night.

The Spurs man faces an uncertain future at N17, but if he is to leave the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer, he’s certainly putting himself in the shop window.

For instance, according to Turkish outlet Sabah, Tottenham have told Galatasaray they are open to selling Hojbjerg for just €10million (£8.5million) this summer.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for the 28-year-old at Tottenham, but considering how he did against England at Euro 2024, more suitors could well start circling.

Tottenham ace Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg shines for Denmark against England at Euro 2024

Denmark held the Three Lions to a 1-1 draw and will probably feel they deserved to get all three points following a spirited display against their lacklustre opponents.

Harry Kane opened the scoring for England following some great work from Kyle Walker, but Denmark equalised with a great Morten Hjulmand strike.

The Danes came close to netting again late on, Andreas Christensen half-volleying over the bar following a corner and Hojbjerg curling just wide of Jordan Pickford’s far post.

The Tottenham player ended up winning the UEFA Player of the Match award for his display, and Danish outlets sung his praises after the game.

Ekstrabladet gave Hojbjerg a 9 out of 10 rating and wrote: “Bellingham who? Hojbjerg is ultimate in his interventions for good and bad, but well, that was very good.

“A warrior of a player that would make a Viking envious. The midfielder was hugely involved with and without the ball, and he is the heart and energy that this national team so badly needs.”

Meanwhile, DR Sport gave the Spurs ace a rating of 12, writing: “Hojbjerg is another Dane with a club address in England, where he has not been used very much from the start of this season at Tottenham.

“It can seem decidedly bizarre when you see him for Denmark in such a match against England.

“The midfielder was here, there and at both ends of the pitch with important actions and even dangerous long shots in the final phase.

“A completely terrific international match. Maybe even the best of the 79 (caps) so far and clearly the best on the course!”
