Southampton’s new signing Moussa Djenepo has admitted that it was a difficult decision for him to leave Standard Liege.
The 20-year-old winger completed his transfer from the Belgian club to the Premier League side for a reported £14 million ($17.8m) fee.
Djenepo was signed permanently in May 2017 by the Reds after delivering convincing performances during his initial loan spell with the side.
Last season, the Mali international scored 11 goals in 39 appearances across all competitions for Michel Preud'homme's men.
He is looking forward to continuing his development at St Mary's Stadium but has sent a message of comfort to his former club.
