"I'm very proud, very happy, very excited. I think there is a fantastic future ahead for the club and I wanted so much to be a part of that.
"If you want to achieve the best things, you need 11 leaders on the pitch and to do that everyone needs to take responsibility for their position, bringing everything they have into the team. I always like to say 'whatever you put in, you get out'.
Hojbjerg added the lure of playing week in, week out at one of the finest stadiums in the world helped make his decision.
"Spurs has fantastic players, a fantastic manager and a fantastic setup," he added.
"One of the first things I said to my wife was that I want to be the first one in that stadium because it is unreal, it is really one of the best, if not the best
"The stadium is something to be proud of and now the training pitch and system, I feel really proud to be part of it and I want to give my everything."
