The Athletic’s Carl Anka has revealed the chances of a summer exit for Pierre-Emile Højbjerg.
Anka made the revelation in the form of a percentage when engaging in a Q&A session with supporters on Friday afternoon, in which he stated that he would “put it at 35%” when asked if a summer move for the Denmark international was “looking likely”.
The former Bayern Munich man has been linked with a move to Tottenham recently, with Sky Sports stating that Spurs had made the midfielder one of their top targets for the January window.
Sky Sports also mentioned that Arsenal and Everton have been interested in attaining the 24-year-old’s services.
