Pierre-Emile Kordt Højbjerg (born 5 August 1995) is a Danish footballer who plays as a midfielder[3] for FC Augsburg on loan from Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.
Club career
Early career
While initially playing in BK Skjold and F.C. Copenhagen he moved to Brøndby IF as a junior player at age 14.[4] He looks upon Zinedine Zidane as his role model.[5]
In 2011, Højbjerg was honoured with the title "Danish under-17 player of the year".[6] In 2013, he was honoured with the title "Danish talent of the year" by Spillerforeningen (the Danish equivalent of the English PFA).[7]
Bayern Munich
Højbjerg joined Bayern in July 2012[8] and, at the age of 17 years and 251 days,[9] made his professional debut on 13 April 2013[9] in the Bundesliga against 1. FC Nürnberg,[10] as a substitute for Xherdan Shaqiri[10] and thus became the youngest player ever to play for the Bayern Munich first team in the Bundesliga.[9] In December of that year, he was in the Bayern squad which won the 2013 FIFA Club World Cup in Morocco, but did not enter the field of play during the tournament.[11][12]
On 17 May 2014, Højbjerg started the DFB-Pokal final for Bayern Munich, a 2–0 extra-time win over Borussia Dortmund. He played for a total of 102 minutes before being substituted in the first half of extra time for Daniel Van Buyten.[13]
His first match of the 2014–15 season was the DFL-Supercup on 13 August, playing the first hour and then being substituted for Mario Götze, as Bayern lost 2–0 at Borussia Dortmund.[14] On 8 January 2015, Bayern extended Højbjerg's contract to 2018.[15]
Loan to FC Augsburg
On 7 January 2015, he was loaned to FC Augsburg, also of the Bundesliga, for the remainder of the 2014–15 season.[16] He made his debut on 1 February 2015 against 1899 Hoffenheim.[17] Højbjerg scored his first Bundesliga goal on 11 April 2015 against Paderborn in a 2–1 loss.
International career
Højbjerg was called up to the Denmark senior side for the first time in May 2014 for the friendlies against Hungary and Sweden and made his debut against Sweden on 28 May, playing the full 90 minutes.[18] On his third cap on 7 September 2014 he scored his first international goal, equalising as Denmark began their UEFA Euro 2016 qualification campaign with a 2–1 win over Armenia in Copenhagen.[19]
