Southampton Football Club have confirmed that Jordy Clasie has joined the club from Feyenoord after signing a five year contract.
Saints supporters will be relieved to hear that Saints have finally got their man after first being linked with Clasie a year ago after Ronald Koeman joined the club from Feyenoord where he had been a big part in the players development.
Clasie confirmed that the Koeman Factor had been a big draw to him in an interview on the clubs official website, whilst also revealing that after following Saints fortunes over the past year he had been so impressed that he would have still joined even if Koeman had not been here.
Saints are equally delighted to have finally landed their man who they consider one of the most sought after young midfielders in Europe at present.
24 year old Clasie also has leadership qualities having captained Feyenoord and continues to be a member of Holland,s international side.
This is another piece in the jigsaw for Saints this season and if they can now land a quality central defender then they will surely feel that they have a squad with a lot more depth than last term as well as more quality.
