Southampton have secured striker Sekou Mara from Bordeaux on a four-year contract.

The 19-year-old is the sixth signing of the transfer window for the Saints.

Manager Ralph Hasenhuttl wanted to add an attacker after losing loan star Armando Broja, who has gone back to Chelsea.

French forward Mara netted six goals in 26 Ligue 1 appearances last season for Bordeaux.

Mara said after signing: "I'm really happy to sign for Southampton and to be a Saint for the next years. Southampton have given me a good opportunity to progress.

"I'm a young player and I have to work. I think Southampton is the best club for me to develop myself and progress to be one of the best. I'm impatient to begin with this team and score goals."
