Southampton have broken their transfer fee record and shelled out £16million to bring in Sofiane Boufal from Lille.
The nimble, fleet-footed left winger, 22, has signed a five-year deal at St. Mary’s after scoring a nifty 12 goals in 34 appearances for the French side last term.

Think Dusan Tadic-esque and you’re already most of the way there.
Should be an exciting, skillful acquisition only in slightly intermittent bursts.
