Southampton confirm Boufal’s return to Angers

Premier League side Southampton have confirmed the departure of Sofiane Boufal to Ligue 1 club Angers.

The winger completed his move to the Black and Whites on a free transfer, despite still under contract with the Saints until the summer of 2021.

The St Mary's Stadium outfit has, however, retained a sell-on clause on the Morocco international.

The Saints have appreciated the forward for his contribution to the club during his stay with the side and wished him the best in his future endeavours.

“Sofiane Boufal has completed a move to French side Angers, Southampton Football Club can confirm,” read a statement from the club website.
