Ralph Hasenhuttl has confirmed that Southampton have made the signing of Ibrahima Diallo from Brest in a deal worth £13.6m.
The Saints have been looking to strengthen their squad as Monday’s transfer deadline draws nearer, with a number of clubs looking to get deals done before the window shuts.
One target of the Saints has been Diallo, a 21-year-old midfielder from Brest, and Hasenhuttl confirmed that the Frenchman has signed following their 2-0 win over West Brom on Sunday.

‘It’s done. He’s our new player,’ Hasenhuttl confirmed to BT Sport. ‘We are happy that we have him here and hopefully we get another one in. I think with two more players it looks okay.’
When asked who else the Southampton boss is looking to bring in, Hasenhuttl smiled and said: ‘I will tell you in the next 24 hours hopefully.’
The Saints have already made Kyle Walker-Peters loan a permanent switch from Spurs, signing the full back for £12m.

Diallo made 22 appearances for the Ligue 1 club last season, registering no goals and one assist for Olivier Dall’Oglio’s side.
Hasenhuttl’s side have enjoyed a mixed start to the 2020-21 campaign, winning two and losing two of their opening four games in the top flight.
