Tottenham fan noticed what Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg did on Instagram amid £15m transfer talk

Tottenham could be on the verge of making their first signing of the summer transfer window.

Jose Mourinho will be keen to add to his squad ahead of the new season due to the club’s involvement in the qualifying rounds of the Europa League in the early part of the campaign.

It seems that the Spurs boss is close to sealing a move for one of his top targets in the window.

Tottenham have been linked with Southampton midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg since the start of the window.

Mourinho was even said to have enquired about the Danish international during the January transfer window.

Reports earlier in the week suggested that a move was edging closer, with an agreement in principle being reached between the two clubs.

The deal is reported to cost Spurs around £15 million in transfer fees, and will see Kyle Walker-Peters go the other way for a fee of £12 million.

With the transfer moving closer, eagle eyed Tottenham fans noticed a potential hint from the midfielder on Instagram.

As pointed out by @Daily_Hotspur on Twitter, the player has ‘liked’ Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho’s latest post on the social media site.

Could it be that Hojbjerg is attempting to get in his new manager’s good books ahead of a move?

Hojberg has been at Southampton since 2016, and was the captain of the club before having the armband taken off him after he made it clear that he was keen to move on from the club.
