Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg reportedly turns down the chance to join Fulham on transfer deadline day.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has reportedly rejected the chance to join Fulham.

Despite having two years left to run on his current contract, Hojbjerg has been linked with a move away after falling down the pecking order at Tottenham.

Ange Postecoglou has opted to utilise a central-midfield pairing of Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr for Tottenham's opening three Premier League games, restricting Hojbjerg to just two substitute appearances.

Hojbjerg was presented with a starting opportunity for Tuesday's EFL Cup tie against Fulham, which resulted in a penalty-shootout defeat.

The 28-year-old has been offered the chance to join Tottenham's midweek opponents after Fulham submitted a £25m bid.

However, according to the Daily Mail, the Denmark international has decided to turn down a move to the West London club.

Hojbjerg has also been linked with Atletico Madrid and Galatasaray, while a recent report suggested that he featured on Manchester United's radar.

There is a belief that a failure to move Hojbjerg on before tonight's transfer deadline could affect Tottenham's chances of signing Conor Gallagher from Chelsea.

Spurs have reportedly made a £40m offer for the England international, with Chelsea said to be holding out for a £45m fee.

While Tottenham are keen to secure Gallagher's signature, Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has stated that he wants to keep the 23-year-old.
