OFFICIAL. Marseille have announced the move for the former Bayern midfielder

Following the appointment of Roberto De Zerbi as head coach, Marseille continue to be very active in the transfer market.

The Provençal club officially announced the transfer of centre midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg from Tottenham. The 28-year-old Danish midfielder moved to Marseille on loan with a mandatory buyout option.

Hojbjerg is Marseille's fifth newcomer this summer. He has previously bought forward Mason Greenwood from Manchester United, centre-back Lilian Brassier from Brest, centre-back Bamo Meite from Lorient and centre-half Ismael Kone from Watford.

Prior to Tottenham, Hojbjerg played for Bayern Munich, Schalke and Southampton. For ‘Spurs’ he played a total of 184 matches, scored 10 goals and made 16 assists.

Marseille finished last season in eighth place in Ligue 1, so the new season will not play in the European Cup.
