Willy Caballero is delighted to have signed a new one-year contract with Southampton.

The Argentinian, who has now signed a one-year contract extension to keep him at St Mary's for another season, says the club reignited his passion when they unexpectedly handed him a Premier League lifeline.

“It's not because I'm 40, because I've been thinking about it for a few years, but it is a discussion with myself and my family also," he said of the decision to prolong his career.

“It's a continuing fight between those questions and answers about it, but always winning is my passion for football; always winning is my desire to train and compete.

“Every year that I've been spending playing football and training, I feel better. Last season was exceptional, because I didn't start properly with a pre-season.

“Even when I was training really hard with another team, with Wimbledon, who helped me to get fit, I was considering to finish my career, because I didn't have the chance to find another team.

“But when I arrived here, training with the guys filled my whole body and mind with energy to continue, and I'm feeling really well and happy that happened.

“My feelings changed immediately. It was so easy to adapt here, so I believe it's not just for myself, it's a very good decision for my family and also for the team, so everyone is happy. This is a win win, I believe."
