Very average signing imo. Looks like they're giving up on Ndombele now and will cash in if some of these rumours are true of likes of Barcelona wanting him.
Lo Celso was looking much better in second half of the season but to me it seems him and Hojbjerg are too similar to play together.
Edit: Simply didn't live up to the hype at Southampton, same as Lemina who seemed to get a ridiculous amount of praise when he first joined and is now being loaned out in Turkey.
Southampton were doing great at the end of the season with Romeu, Ward-Prowse and Armstrong being a nicely balanced trio so smart move to cash in.
Perhaps, some skill, but type and style wise, I can't see the similarity. Hojbjerg can play as main defensive midfielder when Romeu is out. Also work in double pivot with Romeu. Lo Celso is not anchor midfielder of any kind, at least from whenever I saw him, in La Liga, and now in PL.
Hojbjerg was being phased out as he made it known his desire to leave, and entering his last year of contract. He was the captain, so it's not the case Hojbjerg didn't live up to the hype (what hype?). It's Southampton doesn't want any prolonged unsettlement in the team. Also using the situation to get KWP deal without the pain dealing with Levy for Spurs' overpriced outcast.
