Mara has put pen to paper on a four-year deal at St Mary’s after an agreement in principle was reached between the clubs last week.

He arrives for a fee of €11m plus a potential €2m in add-ons, according to the Athletic.

There was interest in his signature from across the continent after scoring six goals in Ligue 1 last season and he is the Saints’ sixth summer signing after Gavin Bazunu, Mateusz Lis, Armel Bella-Kotchap, Roméo Lavia and Joe Aribo.
