New defender Dejan Lovren has described Southampton as being a young team that he hopes to stay with for a long time.
The 23 year old joins us from Olympique Lyonnais for an undisclosed fee and he had previously been linked with a number of top European sides, so this is somewhat of a coup for Southampton.
The Croatian international has signed a four year deal and he told saintsfc.
‘I’ve spoken with the Chairman and the coach, and this is a great project. They told me a lot of positive things, and I know the history of the club. I’m very happy that I can be a part of it.’
Mauricio Pochettino was clearly delighted with the capture, adding.
‘We are very happy because Dejan is a very good player with good potential. It’s a very good job by the Chairman and all of the staff at the club.’
