Southampton have completed their sixth summer signing after confirming the capture of France under-21 striker Sékou Mara from Bordeaux.
An £11m deal, including add-ons, was agreed between the clubs for the 19 year-old last week and Mara’s move to St Mary’s on a four-year deal has now been sealed, subject to international clearance, after he passed a medical and all paperwork was finalised.
Mara was a wanted man after displaying his potential last season, a breakout campaign at senior level for the youngster, scoring six goals in just eight starts and a further 18 substitute appearances for Bordeaux.
