Southampton have reportedly agreed on deals in principle with Tottenham Hotspur for the transfers of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Kyle Walker-Peters according to The Telegraph.
A fee in the region of £15m has been agreed for Danish international Hojbjerg, who made 33 Premier League appearances this season for the Saints, to move to Spurs.
It is believed a fee in the region of £12m for Walker-Peters has also been agreed, who is headed back to St.Marys, where he spent the second half of the 2019/20 season on loan.

The former Southampton captain, who was stripped of the leadership recently when he revealed he wanted to leave the club, arrived on the South Coast in 2016 from Bayern Munich for an estimated £12.6 million.
It seems as though Jose Mourinho’ Spurs have fought off competition from Everton, who were rumoured to also be interested in the 25-year-old.
Heading in the opposite direction, Walker-Peters looks set to sign permanently after he spent the last part of the 2019/20 season with Saints boss Ralph Hasenhüttl’s men, making 10 appearances in the league and impressing his new club.
Given Hojbjerg’s desire to leave the club and with his contract running out next summer, effectively getting £3m plus Walker-Peters for him is a pretty good deal for Saints, especially as right-back looks to be a position that the club simply had to upgrade.
