Southampton medical today for Bayern Munich midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg

Bayern Munich midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is set for a medical at Southampton today.

The 20-year-old, who spent last season on loan at Schalke, is set to become the Saints' second signing of the summer following the arrival of Nathan Redmond from Norwich.

The clubs have agreed a £12.8m transfer fee for Hojbjerg and Bayern chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has revealed the player is in England as he looks to complete the move.

Hojbjerg has spent loan spells at Augsburg and Schalke in the past 18 months and now looks poised to leave the Allianz Arena permanently.

The Denmark international - he has 15 caps - has seen his chances of first-team of football diminish further this summer after Bayern signed Portugal international Renato Sanches for £30m.
