Danish midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg believes that he's showed he can be an important player for Tottenham this season.

The veteran has been out of the team for most of the campaign under boss Ange Postegoclou.

However, Hojbjerg put in a vital display for his team in a battling 3-2 win over Brentford on Wednesday.

"When the lawyer says it, I think we have to listen! So yeah, I can confirm that," Hojbjerg joked to The Standard, referencing his attorney previously saying that he was remaining at Spurs.

“I definitely feel I can help the team. Again, I showed again that I'm ready and of course - like everyone - I want to start every game. There's no secret in that.

"We're all ambitious but I think the important thing is to stay ambitious on behalf of the team and this is the main thing, that we can all keep our ambitions from the team's perspective. It doesn't matter whoever it is, we have to perform for the team.

"[The second half] was good, the team really stepped up second half and I think I helped the team well, Brennan helped the team well so I think it was good."
