Hojbjerg: Southampton know I want to play at higher level

Southampton captain Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has again admitted he could be on his way from St Mary's.

Hojbjerg has hinted he could leave the club in the near future as he aims to win the Premier League and Champions League.

The Danish midfielder has one year left on his contract on the South Coast and has been the subject of interest from Tottenham.

"I know what I want, the club knows it too," Hojbjerg told SPORT1.

“I want to play at an even higher level than I am currently. The relationship between me and Southampton is fantastic.

“The club gave me the platform to grow. I'm not saying 'Goodbye' and I'm focused on my club, but my goal is very clear: I want to win the Premier League and the Champions League.

“I gained a lot of experience [at Bayern Munich] so that I could move on to develop elsewhere. When I was 23 I became a captain in a Premier League club. Now I'm hungry to get to the next level."
