Southampton have completed the signing of Mateus Fernandes from Sporting CP in a deal worth €18m (£15.3m), the south coast side have confirmed.

Despite this minimal action, Southampton have agreed to shell out in excess of £15m to bring him across the English channel, with the midfielder becoming the Saints' 15th signing of the summer.

He has penned an five-year deal at St Mary's Stadium.
