The 24-year-old has signed a five-year
contract at St Mary's Stadium and is
expected to fill the midfield void left by
Morgan Schneiderlin's departure to
Manchester United,
Southampton have completed the signing of
Jordy Clasie from Feyenoord tonight as they took to various social media pages to tell the world of their new signing.
The 24-year-old has signed a five-year contract
with Ronald Koeman's side after a fee reported
to be in the region of £8.4 million was agreed
with the Dutch giants.
Clasie is widely expected to fill in the blanks left by the departure of Morgan
Schneiderlin' who joined his league neighbours Manchester United just yesterday.
At his first conference with the club this is what he had to say
“It feels good to be joining Southampton,”
Clasie told the club's official website. “It’s a nice
club and I’m happy to be here.
“It’s a big club playing in what I think is the
biggest and most important league.
“Ronald being here is a big thing for me and
that was important in me coming here, but
even if he wasn’t here, I’d have come to this
club.
“I played every game for him. He’s a good
trainer and a good man so I like him, but I
came here not only for him. I came here for
the club.
“I’ve watched many games of Southampton, and
it’s felt good when I’ve watched these games.
“I hope that I have many good moments and
good years here.”
Do enjoy your stay in England in Casie.
