Victor Wanyama has been signed by English Premier League side Southampton from Celtic FC on a £12.5m transfer fee.
The 21-year-old, Kenyan International, who joined Celtic from Belgian club Beerschot in 2011, has agreed on a four-year-deal at St Mary's.
Wanyama was the Scottish Premier League's young player of the year last season and scored a header in the 2-1 Champions League win over Barcelona.
Wanyama's transfer fee is the highest ever received by a Scottish club for a player.
"It feels great and I am happy to be here," said Wanyama.
"There were other options, but Southampton is a club with ambitions so I chose to come here.
"Southampton is a good club and it has good players, so I just want to train hard and work hard to be a part of the starting XI. We'll see where that will take me.
"I'm very grateful to be here and I'm looking forward to playing in the Premier League." Said the seemingly joyous Wanyama.
