Bayern extend Hojbjerg’s contract, loan him to rivals
Berlin: German football giants Bayern Munich have given youngster Pierre Emile Hojbjerg a three-year contract extension and have also sent him on loan to Bundesliga rival Augsburg for the rest of this season.
The 19-year-old midfielder extended his current contract that will keep him with Bayern until June 2018, as per reports.
“The contract extenon through 2018 is a clear sign for Pierre Emile Hojbjerg that Bayern will rely on him in future. At the same time, the loan deal with Augsburg until the end of the season is a good solution for him to gain match practice before he returns,” Bayern Munich’s director of sport Matthias Sammer said Thursday.
The Denmark international will reinforce Augsburg after making only 17 first team appearances for Bayern since his arrival in September 2013.
“We are pleased that Pierre had decided in favour of Augsburg. He is convinced that he can continue to evolve here. With his arrival we do not only increase the quality of our squad but we are also increase our flexibility in the case of an injury,” Augsburg’s manager Stefan Reuter told the club’s official homepage.
“I am sure that Augsburg is the right club for me. I would like to integrate myself as soon as possible to help the team on the pitch,” Hojbjerg said.
Augsburg’s new midfielder Hojbjerg earned his first call up for Denmark’s national team in May 2014 to score one goal in five appearances.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
