Italy’s La Stampa reported on the 15th (Korea time) that “Hoybier wants to leave Tottenham next month without waiting until the summer. However, due to Rodrigo Bentancur’s recent injury, coach Enze Postecoglou may block the January transfer.”
Hoivier joined Tottenham through the summer 2020 transfer window. The transfer fee was 16.6 million euros, and the contract period was set until June 2025. It was a resource that Jose Mourinho, who was in charge of Tottenham at the time, wanted.
Hoivier was the undisputed starter until last season. He played 53 games (2 goals and 5 assists) in the 2020-21 season, 48 games (3 goals and 4 assists) in the 2021-22 season, and 44 games (5 goals and 7 assists) in the 2022-23 season, and played over 3,000 minutes each season in the Premier League. 토토
Then, the team faced a crisis this season. Postecoglou’s appointment changed the midfield combination, which led to Hoivier being demoted to the rotation resource. There were times when he started, but this was just a “solvent” due to the injured. The solid midfield combination this season is Pape Sarr and Eve Bissouma.
When faced with this situation, Hoivier planned to move through the January transfer market. Earlier, multiple media outlets said that Hoivier’s agent had contacted Juventus and Atletico Madrid. In particular, it is said that Juventus eagerly wants it.
La Stampa is a morning newspaper published in Turin, Italy. The news seems to have come out as Juventus and Hoivier are connected. However, contrary to Hoivier’s wishes, the transfer may not be allowed. Bentancur suffered a ruptured ankle ligament in the match against Aston Villa at the end of last month and will be absent until February next year. In addition, Sar and Bissima will be sent to the Africa Cup of Nations in January. This is why Postecoglou cannot easily release Hoivier.
Whether Hoivier will move in the winter or summer depends on whether he will sign a replacement. One thing is for sure that Hoivier will leave within the summer of next year.
