Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has decided to sign with Unique Sports Group Italy to become his new representative, Fabrizio Romano has revealed.
USG already represents a number of players including Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon, Chelsea and England defender Reece James, along with Bayern Munich centre-half Dayot Upamencano.
Hojbjerg will be represented by Luca Puccinelli, the former Palermo midfielder who has since gone on to forge a successful career as a football agent.
The Danish international has dropped down in the Tottenham first-team squad pecking order when it comes to midfield options under Ange Postecoglou, with the Australian preferring Yves Bissouma, Pape Matar Sarr and Rodrigo Bentancur.
Could Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg be on his way out of Tottenham this summer?
The 28-year-old has started just six Premier League matches this season, with 19 of his 26 appearances coming from the bench (transfermarkt).
Hojbjerg was previously represented by super agent Pinhi Zahavi and has now secured the services of USG.
Romano took to X to write: “Tottenham midfielder Pierre Emile Højbjerg has signed for USG Italy as new agency, represented by Luca Puccinelli.
“Højbjerg, under contract at #THFC until June 2025.”

With Hobjerg set to be out of contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the summer of 2025, it is an important decision from Hojbjerg to sign with his new agency ahead of what could be his departure from the club at the end of the season.
Tottenham will want to cash in and recoup some sort of fee for the Dane, rather than see him either sign a pre-contract deal in January 2025 or walk away as a free agent in the following summer.
