The former Saint left the south coast for Ajax later in 2018 having made 162 appearances for the St Mary’s club, contribution with 24 goals and 35 assists along the way.
Previously described as the ‘most complete’ forward to grace the Eredivisie since former Ajax legend Marco van Basten by another Dutch icon in Wim Kieft, Tadic has been a revelation since leaving St Mary’s. Now 32, the playmaker has been in scintillating form this season with 10 goals and seven assists in the Eredivisie.
These Southampton fans have taken to social media to look back wistfully at one of Tadic’s finer moments for the Saints:
