Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has refused to throw in the towel in the quest to revive his dwindling career in North London.
The 28-year-old is one of several players who were expected to depart the club during the summer transfer window in pursuit of a fresh challenge.
Despite being deemed surplus to requirement, Hojbjerg failed to secure a move away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium despite initial interest from Atletico Madrid.
There were also links to Manchester United, but the Red Devils opted to complete the signing of long-term target Sofyan Amrabat instead.
Fulham emerged as a possible destination on deadline day, but Hojbjerg was opposed to the prospect of moving across the capital to West London.
Tottenham were prepared to launch a late move for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher, but Hojbjerg’s reluctance to join Fulham made the prospect of a deal impossible.
