Moussa Djenepo has passed a medical ahead of his proposed £15 million move to Southampton, according to a report from Sky Sports, and he is now just waiting for work permit clearance before he can move to St Mary’s from Standard Liege.

The 20-year-old winger was in fine form for Liege this season, racking up 11 goals and six assists in 39 appearances in all competitions, and he will surely prove to be an excellent addition for the Saints.

Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl will undoubtedly be keen to bolster his attacking ranks at St Mary’s this summer, with more pace and quality required in the final third.

The Saints are a club with plenty of potential, and they will be desperate to improve upon their Premier League campaign during this past season, by pushing for a top 10 spot next term.

And Sky Sports claims that Hasenhuttl is closing in on making his first signing of the window, with Mail international Djenepo nearing a £15 million switch to St Mary’s.

And if he does gain work permit clearance, he might just go on to become a star for Southampton.
