Brentford manager Frank: Spurs midfielder Hojbjerg has everything to be Prem best

Brentford manager Thomas Frank says Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is ready for a big season ahead with Tottenham.

Indeed, Frank believes his fellow Dane could be one of the best midfielders in the country next term.

He said, "I coached Hojbjerg for three years in the youth national teams, and I told him when he was in the U17 national team that he could become a world-class holding midfielder.

"On the ball, his technical skills are extremely strong with a good first touch and then he can deliver long passes. He's a really good passing player and he protects the ball nicely.

"He also has physique and speed, so he has the potential to become one of the best holding midfielders in the Premier League."
