Another really pleasing signing for us this summer. He had a very decent loan spell at this level with Norwich last season and a number of clubs were after him. He gives us another option in central midfield and competition for Evans and Smallwood. I know some Saints fans would have liked to see him given a chance in their first team this season but he should get decent game time with us to develop his career.

I reckon himself, Matty Targett and Josh Sims would have really kicked on under Pochettino at Southampton. It's a shame that over time they've distanced themselves from what was a fantastic academy and an attractive style of football.

Yeah he was great for us last season. Farke basically said we were trying to get him earlier in the transfer window but Hughes wanted to have a look at him in pre-season first so we went elsewhere.

 

Good signing.
