Southampton FC transfer news: Claude Puel lands France Under-21 goalkeeper Mouez Hassen from former club Nice

Southampton have signed goalkeeper Mouez Hassen on loan from Nice for the remainder of the season.

The move sees Hassen reunited with Saints boss Claude Puel, with the two having worked together previously at the French club.

The 21-year-old came through the youth ranks at Nice and has made 50 appearances for the Ligue 1 title chasers.

But the France Under-21 international has not featured at all for the club this season and will now head to England.

Speaking about his arrival at St Mary’s, Hassen said: “I am really happy. It’s a pleasure for me to come to England for the first time and I am really happy to get to know the Premier League.
