**Tottenham Confirms Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s Departure to Marseille**

Tottenham has officially confirmed the departure of midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who has joined French side Marseille on a season-long loan deal that will become permanent at the end of the campaign.

As reported earlier, Marseille had been closing in on a deal for the 28-year-old Danish international, with an offer of £13.5million on the table. Hojbjerg had also attracted interest from Atletico Madrid and Fulham, but he is believed to have been keen to work under new Marseille boss Roberto De Zerbi.

Discussions between the two clubs advanced quickly, and the initial loan deal was agreed upon. Hojbjerg landed in Marseille on Sunday night and was greeted by supporters.

**Hojbjerg’s Move to Marseille**

Hojbjerg made 184 appearances during his four-year spell at Spurs, scoring 10 goals. He previously played for Bayern Munich and Southampton. With his contract set to expire in 2025, Hojbjerg would have been available to leave on a free transfer had an extension not been agreed.

Spurs have strengthened their midfield this summer with the signings of Archie Gray from Leeds and Lucas Bergvall from Djurgardens in Sweden.

**Marseille’s Ambitious Summer**

Marseille have been splashing the cash since appointing De Zerbi, with Mason Greenwood joining from Manchester United in a controversial deal worth around £30m. Midfielder Ismael Kone also completed a move from Watford, and the club is working on a deal to sign striker Eddie Nketiah from Arsenal.
