Southampton have signed Hull City striker Shane Long for an undisclosed fee, reported to be around £12m on a four year deal. The 27-year-old becomes Southampton's sixth signing of the summer and joins in time for Sunday's trip to Liverpool.

"It was a hard decision for me to make, but when you come down to Southampton you see how big a club it is," Long told the club's official website.
