Gaston Ramirez moved to Southampton in a club record deal because of their desire to sign the Uruguayan. "The only concrete, real and direct offer was the Southampton one," he told Tuttomercatoweb. "They wanted me strongly and this convinced me to accept.
"I wanted to play in England, a league that I always liked. Here I have had an interesting opportunity, Southampton believe in me.
"We are a young team, we want to do well and we have the potential to do it: we are experiencing slowly, we need time but I am confident."
