Saints have landed Tottenham's highly-rated young Czech striker Tomas Pekhart. The 19-year-old, who joined Spurs in 2006 from Slavia Prague, is yet to make his first-team debut for Spurs.
Pekhart, a Czech Under-21, international is looking forward to his move to St Mary's.
"I am happy about this move to Southampton. They wanted me and will certainly give me chance to play and I hope I can get some real attention there," Pekhart told CTK.
"They have big ambition and that is what lures me and every game their matches are attended by 30,000 fans." (Ed-Hmmmm)
Pekhart is eager for his first taste of first-team football since making the move to England.
"Now it will be better for me to gain experience at the senior level. The Championship is a very demanding league and it will be a big lesson during which I can improve a lot," he continued.
