Tottenham Hotspur and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg have parted ways.
The Dane moved to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium from Southampton in the summer of 2020. He was signed by Jose Mourinho and remained a key player for the club until the start of the 2023/24 season.
Ange Postecoglou did not fancy Hojbjerg. The midfielder started just 10 games under the Australian in all competitions, and it has been clear for a while that he will be leaving this summer.
Roberto De Zerbi’s Marseille swooped in and a deal was confirmed on Monday.

Tottenham have done a great job with moving players on in this window.
Ryan Sessegnon, Japhet Tanganga and Tanguy Ndombele were all released, while Joe Rodon was sold to Leeds United after his successful loan spell there.
It was always expected that more names would join the above four players out of the exit door, and Hojbjerg is the latest addition to that list.
Tottenham confirmed on Monday that the Danish midfielder has joined Marseille on a season-long loan deal. The French club have agreed to a clause that obligates them to sign him on a permanent deal in the summer of 2025.
That brings an end to Hojbjerg’s four-year stay at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
He leaves the club after playing 184 games for Spurs in all competitions, scoring 10 goals and providing 16 assists in that period.
Hojbjerg took to Instagram to announce his Tottenham exit.
His teammate Micky van de Ven showed him some love by reacting with a white heart emoji in the comments below his post.
Two players could follow Hojbjerg out of Tottenham
Tottenham are definitely not done with their business in this transfer window.
There is expected to be more movement at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the coming weeks, and all eyes are on who Postecoglou will bring in.
However, more players could leave too, and Spurs have confirmed that Sergio Reguilon and Bryan Gil have been given permission to explore moves away from Tottenham.
It is clear that those two players have no future at the club, and it is very likely that they will be pushed out of the door before the window shuts in August.
A return to La Liga could be on the cards for both Gil and Reguilon.
