Shane Long is delighted with his move to Southampton.
Long, who joins from Hull City on a four-year deal, is still aiming for a top-10 finish despite the upheaval at St Mary's.
"I'm delighted," he told the club's official website. "This came out of the blue for me but, once I'd come and had a look at the training facilities and met the manager, it seemed like the right decision for me and my family.
"It was a hard decision for me to make, but when you come down to Southampton you see how big a club it is and how well set up it is.
"You look at how well they did last season and they are developing a new squad for this year to try and achieve those accomplishments again, and hopefully I can be a big part of that."
