Juventus are interested in signing Tottenham and Denmark midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the January window, according to reports. 

The Danish international has been strongly linked with a move away from north London after falling down the pecking order within Ange Postecoglou’s side. 

Mail Sport revealed in September that Atletico Madrid were keen on launching a loan offer, which included an obligation to buy, for the former Southampton star. 

But now, reports in Italy claim that Serie A giants Juventus are keen on signing the midfielder as they look to bolster their squad in the January window. 

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Old Lady have identified Hojbjerg and Sassuolo forward Domenico Berardi as two winter transfer targets.

Juventus were hit with troublesome news last week after Paul Pogba reportedly produced a second positive drugs test following analysis of his B sample. 

The maximum suspension in such cases is four years – an initial two-year ban, which can be doubled if it is proven that the substance was taken deliberately. 

The Italian outlet suggest that Pogba’s potential ban will lead Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri to signing midfield reinforcements – such as Hojbjerg. 

Mail Sport also revealed that Hojbjerg turned down a move to Fulham during the summer transfer window. 

Fulham made a £25million offer for Hojbjerg as they looked to add more Premier League experience to their side for the current campaign.

Tottenham signed Hojbjerg from Southampton three years ago and he has proceeded to make 153 appearances for the club.

However, he hasn’t started any of Tottenham’s eight Premier League games so far this season. 

The midfielder has failed to start a single Premier League match for Tottenham this season
