Joe Hart names the Tottenham team-mate who 'does everything right' for Jose Mourinho's side

Joe Hart has described Tottenham team-mate Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg as someone who "just does everything right."

The Danish international has impressed in his first season at Tottenham, having joined Jose Mourinho's men from Premier League rivals Southampton in the summer.

He has become a regular in the Spurs side, making 36 appearances in all competitions so far this season, with Hojbjerg a firm favourite with Mourinho with his work-rate and what he brings to the team.

And it is not just Mourinho who has been impressed with the 25-year-old, who has attracted praise from one of his team-mates.

Speaking on Spurs' YouTube channel as part of a feature on team-mates, Hart said Eric Dier was the first player to arrive at training, but that Hojbjerg was not too far behind.

“Pierre is a top professional and he just does everything right,” said the 33-year-old.

“His job is his job and whatever he needs to do after takes place after that.”

In response, Hojbjerg thanked Hart for his kind words, but said that it does not go down well with his wife.

"I'm never at home, so I get a bit of stick," he said.

Hojbjerg has scored one goal in his 36 appearances for Spurs, with his only strike coming in the 3-1 defeat against Liverpool last month.
