Saints sign West Ham forward Cornet on loan

Southampton have signed West Ham forward Maxwel Cornet on a season long-loan.

The 27-year-old was part of the Hammers 2023 Europa Conference League winning squad and has made 37 appearances for them over two seasons.

Saints boss Russell Martin said: "Maxwel is a very dynamic player and he gives us another exciting dimension to the group.

"He’s someone who can be a real threat to the opposition on the pitch and I’m delighted the ownership group and board have been able to get another attacking option in for us.

"He’s really excited to be coming here and I think it’s a move that can bring out the best in him and work really well for both him and us."
