Southampton have mocked the recent trend of dramatic new signing announcements by releasing a theatrical trailer for reserve goalkeeper Stuart Taylor's one-year contract extension.

The elaborate new signing announcement is football's latest trend, with teams from the Premier League and around Europe producing extravagant videos to unveil their latest acquisitions.

Liverpool announced Mohamed Salah's arrival by posting a video of the Egyptian scrolling through a twitter account filled with 'ANNOUNCE SALAH NOW' tweets, while Roma unveiled Lorenzo Pellegrini with footage of the midfielder playing as himself on FIFA.
