Werder Bremen's sporting director Thomas Eichin is backing Eljero Elia for success at Southampton.
The Dutch winger has joined Saints on-loan for the remainder of the season.
"His love for one-on-one situations makes him a player suited to English football," Eichin told Voetbal International.
"He will get his opportunities. I believe we are going to hear a lot about Elia and Southampton will eventually buy him in the summer.
"If that happens then everybody will be happy."
