Southampton made Mali winger Moussa Djenepo their first summer signing for a fee that reportedly could rise to £15 million ($19 million) from Standard Liege on Thursday. The 20-year-old has agreed on a four-year contract subject to the relevant paperwork being completed on July 1. Djenepo scored 11 times for Standard Liege last season, helping them finish third in the Belgian top flight and qualify for the Europa League. “It’s a good club that is progressing, it has great facilities, and it’s a place that can help me to really kick on and progress,” said Djenepo. I can’t wait to be around my new teammates and work hard alongside them.”(AFP)DOWNLOAD THE PUNCH NEWS APP NOW ON
