Southampton midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has joined Tottenham AFP/Richard HeathcoteLONDON: Tottenham signed Denmark midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg from Southampton in a reported £15 million deal on Tuesday .
Hojbjerg became Tottenham's first signing since the end of the Premier League season after agreeing a five-year contract with the north London club."We are delighted to announce the signing of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg from Southampton," the club said on their Twitter account. The 25-year-old was stripped of the Saints captaincy and dropped for most of Southampton's post-coronavirus lockdown matches after he informed them he would not be signing a new contract.
Everton were also in the hunt to sign Hojbjerg, but his desire to work with Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho is believed to have helped seal his signature. Hojbjerg, who arrived in England in 2016 from Bayern Munich, had been so intent on joining Tottenham that he liked several social media posts linking him with the club.In a separate move, Tottenham right-back Kyle Walker-Peters joined Southampton for £12 million after spending the second half of the season on loan at St Mary's."The last few months on loan have been great for me and a lot of fun too," the 23-year-old said of his initial Southampton spell.
