Matt Le Tissier’s reaction to Southampton decision on Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg

Matt Le Tissier has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to Southampton’s decision to replace reported Tottenham Hotspur target Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg as the club captain with James Ward-Prowse.

The Southampton legend believes that it is a “sensible decision” from the Saints, who are in danger of getting relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.

Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has told BBC Sport that Hojbjerg will not be the captain for the final games of the Premier League.

Ward-Prowse will wear the captain’s armband for the rest of the season, with the Saints making the decision as Hojbjerg has refused to extend his current contract.
