Transfer deadline day in England included a number of African imports with Southampton's hopes of staying in the Premier League resting largely on the form of two players from the continent.
The Saints, who are bottom of the table but two points from safety, have signed Ghana winger Kamaldeen Sulemana for a club-record fee of 22m dollars from French-side Rennes.
The four-and-a-half-year deal for the 20-year-old left winger, who has won 15 caps for the Black Stars, could rise to 24.6m dollars.
Sulemana made three appearances at the World Cup in Qatar and was recorded running at 35.
