Yan Valery Departs On Permanent Deal To France
Another has gone through the out door with Yan Valery joining French Club Angers SCO on a permanent deal after 7 years at St Mary's.
A little under 4 years ago Yan Valery looked to have a bright future at Southampton FC with a series of decent displays at right back including a screamer of a goal at Old Trafford .
But he fell out of favour with Ralph Hasenhuttl in the following season and has failed to produce his form of old consistently.
Now with a year left on his contract Saints have agreed to sell him and get a fee rather than losing him for free and he has joined Angers SCO in his native France.
He would make 53 senior appearances for Valery during his time at Saints, which featured some memorable moments, including the aforementioned spectacular goal away to Manchester United and his strike in a 2-1 comeback victory over Tottenham, both in the 2018/19 season.
Valery now joins the Ligue 1 side, where former Southampton player Sofiane Boufal will be a teammate.
