Olympique Marseille has signed the Danish international defensive midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg on a permanent contract, Tottenham confirms on their website.
The 29-year-old Hojbjerg moved to Marseille for a loan agreement in the summer of 2024, but Tottenham already mentioned that the agreement contained a clause that forced Marseille to permanently sign him.
The transfer is now a reality, says Tottenham in a longer update of players leaving the club.
“As previously reported, the loan agreement of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg will become permanent this summer, while the loan from Kevin Danso will become permanent with us from RC-Lens,” writes Tottenham.
The Premier League club also says goodbye to Fraser Forster, Sergio Reguilon, Alfie Whiteman and Timo Werner. The latter returns to the RB Leipzig of Yussuf Poulsen after a loan stay of eighteen months.
Hojbjerg has become a normal starter in the midfield of Marseille this season. He played 30 games in Ligue 1 and two in the French Cup Tournament Coupe de France.
The Danish international has only missed a few competitions because of the injury that also loved him from the newest training camp of the national team in March.
