# Southampton: Fans love Oriol Romeu news

**Southampton midfielder Oriol Romeu has [signed a new contract](https://www.southamptonfc.com/news/2020-11-19/oriol-romeu-southampton-football-club-new-contract-announcement-2023) with the club that will keep him at St. Mary’s Stadium until 2023.**

The 29-year-old made the move to the south coast in 2015, with the Saints paying [£5m](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/33890418) to Chelsea for the Spaniard. Since then, he has made 198 appearances for the club, playing [at least 29 times](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/oriol-romeu/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/66100) in every single Premier League campaign during that time.

Now, he has committed his future to the Saints for an extra two-and-a-half years, meaning he will remain with them for three more years overall. This comes at a fantastic time for Ralph Hasenhuttl and co, with them currently sitting fourth in the Premier League after winning [five](https://www.skysports.com/premier-league-table) of their first eight matches.
