Pelle wraps up Southampton move
Ronald Koeman's Southampton have agreed a deal to sign Feyenoord striker Graziano Pelle. The 28-year-old has signed a three year contract at St Mary's and joins as a replacement for Rickie Lambert.
The striker, who becomes Southampton's second signing of the summer and follows Dusan Tadic to the club, arrives for a fee of approximately 13 million Euros.
Koeman said of the deal: "We needed a good player in that position. He's a tall striker with a lot of movement and he's fast. He's a player who gives confidence to the team because he keeps the ball."
