Real boss Carlo Ancelotti is a fan of Hoiberg and tried to sign the midfielder for Everton when the Italian was in charge at Goodison Park. Hoiberg has three years left on his Tottenham contract after moving from Southampton in 2020 for a fee of around £15m. The Denmark international became Jose Mourinho’s first signing that summer and has remained a key player for Spurs under Antonio Conte. At one point, though, it looked like Everton had beaten Spurs to the signing of Hoiberg on personal terms that had been agreed and Ancelotti pushing for the deal. In the end Hojbjerg chose Spurs after they made a late move. However, the January signing of Rodrigo Bentancur and the arrival of Yves Bissouma has increased competition in Spurs’ midfield with Oliver Skipp returning to fitness. It remains to be seen whether Spurs will consider selling Hojbjerg if Real go ahead with a bid, although Conte will certainly be looking for a replacement if he is allowed to leave. The 27-year-old will also have to weigh up how much time he will take before the World Cup in November. A factor in United’s acceptance of Casemiro’s offer was the fact that the Brazilian was left on the bench last weekend in a new £68m signing, with 22-year-old Aurelin Tchouameni starting. Ancelotti confirmed on Friday morning that Casemiro had joined United on a four-year deal with an option for a fifth for the 30-year-old. I spoke to you [Casemiro] this morning. He wants to try a new challenge, a new opportunity. Me and the club understand that. With what he has done at this club and the person he is, we have to respect that. There are discussions at the moment, nothing official, but he wants to leave.” Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Tanguy Ndombele has joined Napoli on loan for the rest of the season, with an option to make the move permanent. Frenchman Ndombele joined Spurs from Lyon in the summer of 2019, making a total of 91 appearances and scoring 10 goals. After finding first-team opportunities limited under Antonio Conte, Ndombele, 25, spent the second half of last season back in Ligue 1 with Lyon. A club statement from the Serie A side read: “Napoli announces the acquisition of Tanguy Ndombele from Tottenham Hotspur on a temporary basis with a right to cash out. [a permanent transfer].”
