Southampton sign Dinamo Zagreb’s Mislav Orsic for £8m – with the Croatia winger signing a two-and-a-half year deal

Southampton have signed Croatian winger Mislav Orsic from Dinamo Zagreb, the struggling Premier League club said on Friday.

It has widely been reported that the Saints, who sit 20th in the Premier League, have signed the 30-year-old in an £8million transfer – with Orsic penning a two-and-a-half year contract.

Orsic has 27 caps for Croatia and scored the winner in their 2-1 win over Morocco in the World Cup third-place play-off match in Qatar last month.

‘Mislav is a significant addition to our squad and I’m delighted we have been able to get him in so quickly this month,’ Southampton manager Nathan Jones said.

‘He’s a serious attacking threat and I’m sure anyone who has followed his progress or saw what he achieved at the World Cup will realise the talent he has. We’re excited to have him here.’
