Inter Milan midfielder Taider discusses Southampton flop

Inter Milan midfielder Saphir Taider has discussed his short spell with Southampton.

After just three weeks, the Premier League club cut the 22-year-old's stay short. Taider is now on-loan with Sassuolo.

"I was at Inter, then went to England where I was okay, but for personal reasons I decided to come back to Italy," he told Sassuolo Channel.

"I had several different offers, but I chose Sassuolo and hope to have a great season. It's a new adventure for me, but I know Serie A and learned a lot at Inter.

"In two days I settled very well into the group, as there are some fantastic lads who I get on with. You can see this is their second season in Serie A, so the club has grown.

"The coach (Eusebio Di Francesco) is a fantastic person who knows how to joke around, but also work hard. I am at his disposal.

"Di Francesco knows full well what my preferred role is, but the important thing is to honour the club colours."
