Southampton fans are delighted after the club confirmed the signing of Tino Livramento from Chelsea.

The Saints are closing in on the new campaign - they will face Everton at St. Mary's Stadium in their season opener on Saturday August 14th. Romain Perraud (southamptonfc.com) and Danyl Simeu (chelseafc.com) were the first two signings for the club of the transfer window, although it was clear they could do with more new faces if they want to improve on last term's 15th place Premier League finish.

Now, they have completed a deal for a third new arrival. They have captured Livramento from Chelsea - the same club from which they signed Simeu - for a fee of £5m (The Guardian).

Livramento is an exciting young full-back and was the Blues' academy Player of the Year last term.

The news was shared on Twitter by Southampton's official account, and it attracted plenty of attention from the Southampton supporters. They took to the social media platform to share their thoughts.

Let's see what the fans had to say about the Livramento news below

"Outstanding signing this from #saintsfc Think he could go on to be one of the best RBs in the Premier League..... I'd play both him and KWP together on the right hand side with KWP in a more advanced role... those two together could be lethal!"
