Tottenham veteran Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is a target for Newcastle United this winter.

The Magpies are in the market for a defensive midfielder, as they look to rescue their season.

With manager Eddie Howe failing to convince Kalvin Phillips to sign on loan from Manchester City, he is turning to Hojbjerg.

Per The Chronicle, Spurs are braced for an offer from Newcastle for their anchorman.

Hojbjerg is behind Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma in the starting lineup of manager Ange Postecoglou.

He would rather move on loan to get regular football for the rest of the season.
