Southampton: Club confirms the move of 3 players before window closes
On Monday, Southampton confirmed that Mario Lemina, Wesley Hoedt, and Jake Hesketh have all gone out on loan for the rest of the season.
The last of the players Hasenhuttl wanted to off-load have been dealt with and it puts a ribbon on top of what was a very successful transfer window.
Let us take a quick look at each move and what it means.
It has finally happened. The Mario Lemina saga is over and he can now call Turkey his new home for the 19/20 season. Galatasaray, are the current champions of Turkish football and Lemina will get a chance to play in the Champions League this season.
The Turkish club will have an option to buy Lemina at the end of the season for a fee rumored around £14.5m
We wish Mario the best of luck this season!

The Dutch defender will spend his second consecutive season on-loan but this time he is joining Belgian club Royal Antwerp for the season.
The club confirmed the move on Monday. Hoedt, only made thirteen appearances for the club last season and they all came under former manager, Mark Hughes.
Hoedt, did not appear to have a way back into the team and this is a good move for both the player and club.
The Englishman will be joining newly promoted Lincoln City in League One of English football.
The Imps are a strong side and have started the season off on the right foot. This will be a good chance for Hesketh to grow and improve as a player while helping his new team chase for back-to-back promotions.
