Spurs also announced that right-back Kyle Walker-Peters had completed a permanent transfer to Southampton after spending the second half of the 2019-20 season on loan at St. Mary's, with reports stating a £12m ($15m) fee for this deal, completed separately to that involving Hojbjerg.
Hojbjerg became Tottenham’s first signing since the end of the Premier League season after agreeing to 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.
The former Bayern Munich man will help provide cover in defensive midfield for Spurs and will wear the No 5, which was vacated when Jan Vertonghen confirmed he would leave the club this summer.
The Danish Midfiled noticed fans might find it difficult to pronounce his name, he did a video pronouncing his full name

"I wanted to play in a club where I could see myself for many years," Hojbjerg told Tottenham's official website. "Tottenham was just the one. I'm very proud, very happy, and excited. I think there's a fantastic future ahead for the club and I wanted so much to be a part of that."
