Gazzetta dello Sport have revealed that Juventus sent their scouts to Copenhagen to watch Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in action during Denmark’s clash against Kazakhstan over the weekend.
Over the last month or so, various publications have backed Juventus to make a move for Hojbjerg in January, with LondonWorld even claiming a few days ago that the Old Lady are already preparing a bid for the player.
Gazzetta have become the latest outlet to report on Juve’s interest in the Tottenham man, revealing that they sent a scout to watch him in action in Denmark’s 3-1 win on Saturday.
It is revealed that the reason they travelled to Parken rather than to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was that they wanted to watch the midfielder play the full 90 minutes.
Juventus scouts were impressed with Hojbjerg
The report states that the Serie A giants were impressed with what they saw and are ‘fascinated’ by Hojbjerg’s profile, given his experience and flexibility.
However, Gazzetta add that the Spurs star is not the only option on Juve’s radar, with Borussia Moenchengladbach’s Manu Kone, Strasbourg’s Habib Diarra, Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana, and Udinese’s Lazar Samardzic also being monitored.

Finally, the outlet adds that Tottenham are not willing to loan out Hojbjerg in January and that they value the former Southampton man at £26m.
Spurs Web Opinion
Hojbjerg would want to leave in search of regular game time while Tottenham will be happy to cash in on him, given that he will have just 18 months left on his contract.
Spurs will be hoping that a bidding war ensues between the likes of Juventus and Atletico Madrid for the midfielder in January so that his price gets pushed up to £30m.
