Pierre-Emile Højbjerg Signs with Olympique Marseille

Pierre-Emile Højbjerg is set to join Olympique Marseille, marking a significant move in the summer transfer window. The Danish midfielder is departing Tottenham Hotspur for a fee around €13.5 to €14 million, as confirmed by multiple sources. Højbjerg, who had no intention of extending his contract with Spurs, agreed to the transfer after discussions with Marseille manager Roberto De Zerbi.

During his tenure at Tottenham, he became a pivotal figure in midfield, known for his strong tackling, passing accuracy, and ability to dictate the pace of the game. His move to Marseille is expected to bolster the club’s midfield options significantly.

Marseille, one of France’s most historic clubs, has been active in the transfer market, aiming to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. Højbjerg’s addition aligns with their strategy to compete at the highest levels domestically and in European competitions.

The move comes after Højbjerg’s notable performances for Tottenham, where he made over 100 appearances since joining from Southampton in 2020. His experience in the Premier League and international stage with Denmark adds a strategic advantage to Marseille’s lineup.
