Djenepo caught the eye of Southampton after starring in the Europa League and domestic competitions.Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side are closing in on completing his transfer and if they conclude the deal they will have beaten off competition from Serie A giants AC Milan, who were also keen on the attacker.Club career so far?
Having begun his youth career at Yeelen Olympique, Djenepo then moved to Liege on loan in January 2017, before making his move a permanent one in May that year.In March 2018, he played as Liege beat Genk 1-0 to win the Belgian Cup Final and thus qualify for the Europa League.
mail3The Mali international had an impressive season for LiegeThis last season has seen Djenepo really impress with manager and Belgium legend Michel Preud’homme backing him to reach an elite level.He said after a match with Oostende: “[He has] a profile that I like, with speed, mentality and quality. He is evolving quickly and still has a large margin of evolution. But if you have a good mentality, you can also grow faster. ”Team-mateHow much is he likely to cost?
Sport Mediaset had reported that his fee when linked to AC Milan was around 8 million Euro (around 7million), but Southampton are said to have agreed a 14million deal – not quite enough to beat Marouane Fellaini’s club-record sale from Standard Liege to Everton.David Seaman complains about Arsenal's lack of ambitionInternational experience?
The 20-year-old represented Mali Under-20 at the Africa U-20 Cup of Nations in 2017 and won three caps before being called up to the senior squad in the same year.He has gone on to win eight caps and scoring once, against Sudan in March.How will he fit in to Southampton?
The Saints’ attack desperately struggled for goals last season and Nathan Redmond finished as their top scorer with nine and Danny Ings was there highest scoring striker with eight.Southampton managed to stave off relegation, finishing 16th, but only netted 45 times in the Premier League.Djenepo is direct, pacy and his 11 goals means he is a capable finisher and would immediately bolster Saints, if he hits his stride early.He can either engage full-backs on the flanks or move through the middle breaking lines with his superb dribbling, although whether this will translate in the Premier League will be interesting.
