Former Tottenham striker Darren Bent has questioned
the club’s reported interest in Southampton midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. The
Danish international has reportedly been targeted by Jose Mourinho as
a potential replacement for Tanguy Ndombele who is rumored to be
leaving the club in the summer. Champions League fans around the world can buy
online Champions League Tickets to enjoy its stunning performances.
However, Bent is unconvinced the 24-year-old fits the profile
of the kind of player Spurs should be pursuing.
“When you look at Spurs, and I’m not disrespecting Hojbjerg
one bit, he’s had a very, very good season, look at where Spurs have come from
in the last eight years or whatever, you talk about Mousa Dembele, Scott
Parker, Luka Modric, Wanyama they’ve had so many very good midfielder players,” Bent
told Football Insider.
“All of sudden you think: ‘Hold on a second here, yes
Hojbjerg’s a very good player but will he make them better where people go
Spurs are serious?’ I’m not so sure.”
Pochettino could be reunited with the former player in the next
role
Mauricio Pochettino has been heavily linked with the
manager’s role at Newcastle in recent weeks.
Should the ex-Spurs boss take over at St. James' Park, he
could be reunited with Nabil Bentaleb if the former Tottenham midfielder’s
current loan with the Magpies is made permanent.
The two weren’t always on the best of terms at White Hart
Lane after the player lost his place under the Argentine in 2015 and was
eventually sold.
However, in an interview with the Independent last year,
the Algerian says he has matured and cleared the air with Pochettino.
“I got injured and when I came back, I wanted to play so bad
that I had some arguments [with Pochettino]. I was a little bit frustrated, and
I was learning basically," he said.
“I knew he wanted the best for me. I respect him for sure; I
have no problem with him. My desire to play was too much, and after that, I was
swerving away."
Mourinho admits crying after Champions League loss
Spurs' boss Jose Mourinho has opened up about the time a
Champions League defeat brought him to tears.
In the 2012 semi-final, Mourinho’s Real Madrid side was taken
to penalties by Bayern Munich.
However, the Spanish giants would lose after Manuel Neuer
saved from Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka before Sergio Ramos blazed over.
