James Bree: Southampton sign Luton defender on three-and-a-half-year deal

Southampton have signed defender James Bree from Luton Town on a three-and-a-half-year deal.

He is Southampton's third signing of the January window, after the arrivals of Mislav Orsic and Carlos Alcaraz.

"I'm absolutely delighted," said Bree. "A Premier League opportunity and obviously get to work with my old gaffer, I didn't have to think twice.

"It's something I've dreamed of since I was a little kid, making my Premier League debut, and obviously for a team as big as Southampton."

Bree made 143 appearances for Luton, helping them to the Championship play-offs last season and playing every minute for them this term.
