Southampton announce Elyounoussi deal

Southampton have officially confirmed the arrival of Mohamed Elyounoussi from FC Basel.

Elyounoussi has signed a five-year deal with the club, for a fee thought to be in the region of £16m.

The 23-year-old winger scored ten goals for Basel in the league last season, and impressed in the Champions League.

He is expected to be a direct replacement for Dusan Tadic, who joined Ajax in a deal worth up to £18m earlier this week.

The Norweigan international becomes Southampton’s second signing of the summer, following on from Stuart Armstrong’s arrival.

Armstrong joined from Scottish giants Celtic for a fee in the region of £7m.

Southampton are also thought to be tracking Manchester City goalkeeper Angus Gunn, who is valued at £15m.
