Southampton winger Nathan Redmond has heaped praise on summer-signing Moussa Djenepo.
The new arrival made a bright start to the campaign before suffering an injury which kept him out of action for several weeks.
However, he has recovered and made his return to the pitch during the 2-1 defeat to Manchester City in the Premier League at the Etihad Stadium.
The 21-year-old could be a key man to help the Saints survive relegation and Redmond loves his infectious personality. As quoted on the Daily Echo, he said:
He is a very, very good kid. He is bright, bubbly and doesn’t take himself too seriously – he’s a kid, to be honest. He is a super-talented boy who is so open-minded and eager to learn every single day. He gets on well with everybody and has fitted in so well.
He is one of the boys you’d see in the dressing room, even if it was at six o’clock in the morning, he’d be there with a smile on his face saying, ‘Hello, my friend’. He is off his head. It doesn’t matter if it’s nine o’clock at night, the kid is nuts in a good way.
He’s fantastic to have around the dressing room and when he was injured he still had that same mentality.

The return of Dejenepo certainly boosts Southampton’s attack and now they can be more confident of picking up positive results.
It’s great to hear for all Saints fans that Djenepo is such a lovable character within the squad and is always trying to keep everyone smiling despite the poor run of form.
That’s exactly what the team needs and hopefully, Djenepo will be putting plenty more smiles on faces against Arsenal after the international break.
