Southampton complete the signing of Chile forward Ben Brereton Diaz from Villarreal for about £7m.
The Chile striker has signed a four-year deal at St Mary's to end a 12-month stay at the Spanish club."I'm absolutely buzzing. It’s been smooth these past couple of days, and I’m happy to get everything sorted and signed," he said.“Watching the club when I was younger, it was always in the Premier League. Everything has aligned together and I think it’s an amazing club. I can’t wait to get started.
He switched international allegiance to Chile after coming through England's youth set-up and made his debut in 2021. The 25-year-old played in Chile's three games at the Copa America last month as La Roja finished third in Group A, behind Argentina and Canada.
