Ex Chelsea midfielder Romeu wins Southampton's best player award

Southampton midfielder Oriel Romeu has been named the player of the season at the South Coast club by both club fans and his teammates.

The 25-year-old, who joined the Saints from Chelsea in 2015, has made 41 appearances for the Saints in all competitions this season.

"It has been an amazing season, I have enjoyed it a lot," Romeu said after accepting the awards.

"I've felt everyone's support and need to thank my teammates for valuing the work I have done since I came here. I couldn't be any happier.

"Also the fans as well because their support gives you another strength to carry on and fight for every single ball. I need to say thank you to the fans because without them sometimes it would be much harder."
