Tottenham Hotspur have completed the signing of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg from Southampton.

Spurs have reportedly paid £15m plus bonuses for the Dane, who has signed a four-year contract with the club.

It is Jose Mourinho's first signing of the season as he looks to replenish his squad for next season.

"What was very important for me was that I wanted to play at a club where I could see myself for many years, and Tottenham was just the one," Hojbjerg told the club's website.

"I'm very proud, very happy, excited. I think there is a fantastic future ahead for the club, and I wanted so much to be a part of that.

"Spurs has fantastic players, fantastic manager, a fantastic setup.

"I feel lucky and proud to be a part of it, and I want to give my everything, but I also want to learn a lot, to push for the next step, but still keeping that consistency."

The deal has seen right-back Kyle Walker-Peters move in the opposite direction after spending the second-half of last season on loan at St. Mary's.
