Transfer news; Jack Buttner has signed for the Saints

Fulham and QPR target Jack Buttner has signed Premier League new boys Southampton.

The Vitesse full back has been linked with a move to London but would rather ply his trade on the south coast after visiting the training ground.

“I want to go to Southampton,” he told De Telegraaf before the move was completed.

“I have to wait for both clubs to reach an agreement, but I count on the co-operation of Vitesse.”

“It would be a massive blow if this won’t go through.

“I have been to Southampton and everything - including the living conditions - are perfect. The club, the stadium, everything, surprised me. Fantastic.

“And Southampton have big ambitions. With the new investor they want the same as Manchester City.”
