Tottenham midfielder Hojbjerg: Where I must improve

Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg admits he should be adding more goals and assists to his game.

The Danish international has been integral to coach Antonio Conte's system, since the Italian took over last season from Nuno Espirito Santo.

However, Hojbjerg is not always the most prolific from midfield, rarely getting himself on the score sheet.

He stated during his press conference ahead of a Champions League group stage clash with Marseille: "We are working intensely for quite a time, working intensely in a system where everyone is well aware what to do with specific roles, but we are always trying to look for improvement and new situations.

“When you get that confidence and understanding into the bones of the system, you start to come up with your own touch, which everyone is always trying to do. I'm not sure the coaches are telling me specifically to do that but it's not a bad thing."
