Southampton complete Hojbjerg deal

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has completed a move to Southampton from Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich on a five-year-deal for an undisclosed fee.

Hojbjerg is the second signing Southampton have made in the close-season having already brought in winger Nathan Redmond from Norwich City.

"I'm very pleased. It's a big opportunity for me. I look forward to giving what I have and what I can to the club. They have put trust in me and I want to show them that they are not wrong," Hojbjerg told Southampton's official website.

"When I heard that Southampton came in for me I said to my people that this is what I want to do because I can see myself at Southampton, as it's the way I like to think, the way I like to play and it fits me really well.

"I hope I can come here also and be a part of the Southampton family and give what I have to fight for the club and fight for my team-mates."

Hojbjerg's arrival comes on the same day that striker Graziano Pelle left the club for Chinese Super League side Shandong Luneng.
