Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is determined to emulate his former Bayern Munich teammates by winning a Wembley final when he returns to the home of football with Saints.

The Danish international was sat among the Bayern substitutes during the 2013 Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund, having become the Bundesliga's youngest player, aged just 17, six weeks earlier.

He and Liverpool midfielder Emre Can made their debuts in the same match and were sat alongside each other at Wembley as Bayern beat Dortmund 2-1.

"I was around the squad with Emre Can, now of Liverpool, when Bayern won the Champions League at Wembley," he said.

"It was an amazing final. The winning goal was scored two minutes before the end so it was a final you remember for a long time."

Hojbjerg was in a Bayern side including the likes of Thomas Muller, Arjen Robben and Toni Kroos that beat Dortmund in the German Cup final a year later.

He has also won the Bundesliga and is determined to add an English League Cup winner's medal to his collection.

"The League Cup is not the biggest title in England but it's a title," he said. "Why are big players big players? Because they have won titles - and I want to be a big player.

"Growing up I would give my right hand to be able to feed myself and feed my family by playing football.

"So I can say I achieved the biggest dream. Now I'm dreaming even bigger I don't want to stop."

Hojbjerg believes he has improved during his first season with Saints, following his £12.8m move from Bayern last summer.

"I've learned a lot, I've enjoyed the club and the journey so far," he said. "I can only say it's going the right way.

"I really feel that I am in the right place at the right time.

"I would like it to be even better and to play even more. I have a lot to give, I feel hungry and motivated to keep on going.

"I just like playing football all the time, I love it. My girlfriend says I'm sick sometimes. I can't deny I'm not in love with the sport and the whole passion about it.

"What you get in football you get nowhere else, in my opinion."

The intensity of the Premier League has been one of the biggest challenges for Hojbjerg.

"My game has become even quicker, even more precise because the Premier League requires such a high amount of tempo but also perfection," he continued.

"I like it when things are perfect, when my game is perfect and when that is needed at a high tempo it pushes you.

"You never know what's coming up in the Premier League. You have a game at Hull, you lose - but you win at Anfield.

"This is the Premier League. When people ask me what is the difference between the Premier League and Bundesliga I say we lost at Hull but we won at Anfield.

"Every week you're at zero again.This is good but it's tough. The Bundesliga is tough but then they have the Christmas break, less games."
