Agent: We both knew Southampton's Lovren would thrive in England

The agent of Dejan Lovren admits he's loving life at Southampton.

For many, the Croatia defender is among the signings of the season, having arrived in the summer from Olympique Lyon.

Nikky Vuksan told tribalfootball.com: " Lovren has not surprised himself nor myself with how well he is doing, but its still very early to give grades as the Premiership season is a long one.

"We believed in his high quality, even when everyone at Lyon gave up on him."

Vuksan continued: "It was a consensus that the style of play Lovren employs will suit the Premiership. He has always been an honest, hard working, fair player. It is something that the football fans in the UK appreciate and he is feeling that know."
