Tottenham Hotspur sign Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg from Southampton

Tottenham Hotspur have signed midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg from Southampton for £15-million on a five-year contract.

“I’m very proud, very happy, I’m also very excited to be here – I just want to get going, meet everyone and play football,” Hojbjerg told the club’s official website.

“I like to bring energy, I like to bring wins – hopefully! I just think you get me, 100 per cent. I love to be the best team player I can be and I like to make people better.

“I like to make the team better and I think it’s important to be aware of what your role is, who you’re playing against and what is demanded from you. Many of the small details all go into one big important thing.

“From the first moment I got to speak to the people at the club, the coach, I think it was very clear to me that Spurs is a very big club but also a club with even more potential to reach the ultimate, and I wanted so much to be a part of that. I think there is a fantastic future ahead for the club and hopefully for me as well.”
