Why Tottenham sold ‘Son Heung-min’s colleague’ Hoibier
According to the British ‘Court Offside’ on the 22nd (Korea time), Fabrizio, who specializes in European transfers, said on his YouTube channel, “Tottenham midfielder Hoibier is on the verge of transferring to French Ligue 1 Marseille,” claiming, “This transfer will benefit each other.”
Denmark’s national team Hoibier joined Tottenham from Southampton in 2020 and immediately played as a main player. Hoibier, who was in charge of the leadership of the midfield based on his enormous activity, was recognized by Jose Mourinho, Nunu Espiritu Santo and Antonio Conte.
However, he changed his position after manager Angie Postecoglou took the helm last season. During the 2022-2023 season, the duration of playing in the league, which he played 3,133 minutes during 35 games, was reduced to 1,293 minutes in 36 games during the last season. He also played in only eight games as a starter.
He had to give up his starting position because he did not fit Postecoglou’s aggressive tendencies. He was relegated to the bench due to replacement options such as Pape Sarr and Yves Bissouma.
Regarding the reason why Tottenham accepted the transfer of Hoibier, Romano explained, “It is because there is a year left in the contract and we were not going to renew the contract,” adding, “Tottenham preferred to sell Hoibier now rather than lose him to a free agent next summer.”
After making the decision, interest in Hoibier was immense. Coach Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid and Fulham, the mid-tier Premier League team, also approached. Adding to this was Hoibierre, which became a hot seller with the addition of Borussia Dortmund, a strong team in the Bundesliga.
The final winner of the scramble for Hoibier was Marseille. It is known that Marseille offered Tottenham 14 million pounds (about 21.2 billion won) worth of transfer fee and additional options. Hoibier also won the transfer, and the contract process is expected to be completed soon.
Marseille recently appointed Roberto De Zerby, the manager who led Brighton until last season. De Zerby showed a direct interest in Hoibier, who had been eyeing him in the Premier League, and Marcéu president Pablo Longoria was actively involved in the move, putting him on the verge of a transfer.메이저놀이터
In response, the “Court Off Site” emphasized, “Joibyere has been embroiled in transfer rumors over the past two transfer periods,” adding, “Tottenham can reinvest in the squad for the transfer fee and Hoibyere can also be guaranteed steady playing time, which will benefit both sides.”
