Champion league runners up show keen interest in signing spurs star son, The offer was officially rejected by spurs insider.
Champions League runners-up Borussia Dortmund are looking towards Tottenham Hotspur to bolster their midfield options this summer.
Tottenham are looking at a number of changes in the squad this summer with Ange Postecoglou continuing his rebuilding job.
One player who could leave Postecoglou’s Spurs is Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who is wanted in Serie A, where AC Milan, Napoli and Juventus have been linked with an interest in signing the Danish international this summer.
Fenerbahce boss Jose Mourinho is also eyeing reuniting with the Spurs midfielder in Turkey but he is also now attracting interest from Germany.
According to German daily Bild (via Fussball Transfers), Dortmund have shown an interest in taking Hojbjerg to the Westfalenstadion this summer.
With Hojbjerg not a certain starter at Spurs, Dortmund are prepared to provide him a new lease of life back in Germany.
His contract situation means that he is likely to be available for a reasonable transfer fee as well this summer.
The Dane has experience of playing in Germany as well where he spent four years at Bayern Munich.
He speaks fluent German, which Dortmund consider to be a positive, and it is felt he would be open to returning to the Bundesliga.
Lo Celso’s Tottenham future remains unclear
Rumours of Giovanni Lo Celso leaving the club started to swirl around in April, with Spanish news outlets claiming the midfielder could possibly return to the club Tottenham brought him from, Real Betis.
It was stated that Lo Celso has ‘maintained contacts with the leaders of the club’ and would ‘be willing to return if they give them [Real Betis] the right conditions’ (Estadio Deportivo).
Manager, Ange Postecoglou, had his say in a press conference also in April of this year, claiming that Lo Celso ‘has been good for us’ although admitting there have been ‘injury disruptions’, further adding ‘if it is not Gio, someone else will have to play that role. No one will play every game. It doesn’t happen’ (Football.London).
Postecoglou’s closing statement that’s quoted above doesn’t exactly sound as if the Australian will be willing to go to great lengths to keep the 28-year-old.
This was reflected by a Football Insider report that claims ‘Tottenham have told Lo Celso he is free to find a new club this summer’ with Spurs willing to accept a ‘cut-price fee’ due to the player’s current deal expiring next summer (Football.Insider).
Tottenham are not giving Lo Celso ‘the continuity he deserves’
Argentinian media outlet, Olé, published a feature piece on Lo Celso with the piece stating that ‘his ability to play, to know how to play and make play is valued’, later going on to praise the Tottenham midfielder who has ‘one of the most appearances’ under World Cup winning manager, Lionel Scaloni (Olé).
Lo Celso hasn’t enjoyed as much game time at club level, however, experiencing only 494 league minutes this season (TransferMarkt).
Olé were critical of Spurs’ reluctancy to use Lo Celso in their feature, claiming that he ‘does not have the continuity that he deserves’ at Tottenham.
Fans will be quick to point at his injury record as an explanation for the lack of continuity however, with Giovanni missing 14 games this season due to injury which is worryingly one of his better injury records for a season in his time at Spurs (TransferMarkt).
