Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg calls on Antonio Conte to 'elaborate' after the Tottenham boss accused his players of lacking professionalism in THAT extraordinary rant... as Spurs weigh up whether to sack the Italian in the international break

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg will wait for manager Antonio Conte to 'elaborate' on comments made during his astonishing 10-minute rant following Tottenham's limp draw against Southampton on Saturday before passing judgement.

The Danish player started at St Mary's during Saturday's match, and as such found himself in the firing line as his manager lambasted his players and offered a damning indictment on the club as a whole.

Along with questioning the professionalism of his players, and suggesting they too often received 'excuses' for poor performances, Conte said that 'Tottenham's story' was an unwillingness to 'play under pressure', something that was responsible for their 'twenty years' without a trophy.
