Tottenham Hotspur fans react as Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg loses Southampton captaincy

According to latest reports from Sky Sports, Southampton have removed Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg as captain.

The Saints have appointed James Ward-Prowse as their new captain.

Hojbjerg has just one year left on his deal and he is yet to sign a new contract. Moreover, he has openly expressed his desire to play at a higher level.

Earlier this month, Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl had issued a stern warning to Hojbjerg saying he would not remain captain at the club without signing a new contract.

This gives an indication that Hojbjerg probably won’t commit his future at the club.
