TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR EYE €60 MILLION MOVE FOR SPORTING CP CAPTAIN MORTEN HJULMAND
ACCORDING TO SPANISH OUTLET FICHAJES, THE LILYWHITES ARE READY TO INVEST HEAVILY IN A NEW HOLDING MIDFIELDER, WITH 26-YEAR-OLD DANISH INTERNATIONAL MORTEN HJULMAND EMERGING AS A LEADING TARGET. THE 2024/25 UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE WINNERS SEE HIM AS A STRATEGIC SIGNING TO STRENGTHEN THEIR SQUAD.
HJULMAND JOINED SPORTING CP FROM US LECCE IN 2023 FOR €20 MILLION AND QUICKLY BECAME CLUB CAPTAIN UNDER RUBEN AMORIM. SINCE THEN, HE HAS MADE OVER 100 APPEARANCES, REGISTERING EIGHT GOALS AND SIX ASSISTS, WHILE BUILDING A REPUTATION AS ONE OF EUROPE’S MOST UNDERRATED MIDFIELD POWERHOUSES.
WITH YVES BISSOUMA OUT OF THE PICTURE, UNCERTAINTY AROUND RODRIGO BENTANCUR’S FUTURE, AND JOAO PALHINHA EXPECTED TO RETURN TO BAYERN MUNICH AFTER HIS LOAN, TOTTENHAM SEE HJULMAND AS THE IDEAL SOLUTION IN MIDFIELD. HIS LEADERSHIP AND DEFENSIVE SOLIDITY MAKE HIM A PRIME CANDIDATE TO ANCHOR THE NORTH LONDON SIDE.
HOWEVER, IT REMAINS UNCLEAR WHETHER A BID OF €60 MILLION WILL BE ENOUGH TO CONVINCE SPORTING CP TO LET THEIR CAPTAIN LEAVE NEXT YEAR.
