With Hojbjerg being in the last year of his contract, it was inevitable that he was going to leave this summer after a lack of regular first-team football last season.
Marseille have had something of a bargain with a fee in the region of £11.3m – £11.7m considering Hojbjerg is still only 28 and showed with Denmark at Euro 2024.
He showed, especially against England, that he is a top player and if he had a longer contract, Spurs could have commanded a much higher fee.
