Southampton midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is a step away from joining Tottenham.

The Dane will arrive from Southampton in a deal worth £15million, with Spurs becoming his third permanent club after breaking through at Bayern Munich under Pep Guardiola.

Hojbjerg recently spoke to the Football Ramble Daily podcast about how he sees himself as a player, which aligns with how Spues manager Jose Mourinho plans to use him in north London.

"I need to take the responsibility in the game to bring the A-game," he said in a podcast published in May. "My idea of playing, of who I was, was always taking responsibility, always in the difficult moments as well. But 'responsibility' is not always taking the ball and drilling past five guys and trying to score.

"My biggest strength is making other players better, you know. Supporting them, playing the right balls, doing the right runs, fighting for them, feeding them, analysing the game, reading the game, playing the game as it should be played.

"There are games where you have to play tougher, be tougher, there are games where you have to be more composed, games where you have to find the space a bit more wide or a bit more inside.

"So to read the game, or to make my team-mates better, or the best players in the team even better, that's what I love doing and what I do the best."
