The Denmark international has not always had it smooth during his time in London. After impressing at Southampton, he eventually earned a move to Spurs to great fan reaction.
And while he has played an important role during his time at the club, fans remain divided over his impact. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg played 184 games for the Lilywhites in four years, scoring 10 goals and providing 16 assists.
Now, at 28, he could begin a new chapter of his career under an exciting manager like Roberto De Zerbi. It remains to be seen when his move is officially announced by both clubs.
