Moussa Djenepo

The youngster seems to have cemented his spot in the starting lineup while Redmond is out with an injury for the time being.

The winger had brilliant moments, beating defenders with his flashy dribbling, assisting the first goal, and even recording a few tackles.

He still shows his age at times with bad decisions or a shot that finds row 50 but he has shown the player he can be time and time again. Every time he touches the ball you think he’s about to do something that makes your jaw drop.

I look forward to watching him play in the coming weeks and expect him to have a hand in the Saints’ success the rest of the season.
