Dusan Tadic says new Southampton signing Filip Djuricic studied up on the club ahead of his arrival.
Tadic revealed he had already spoken to Djuricic about his move and what he can expect at Saints.
"He had watched a lot of our games," he said. "He knows how we play, he knows the coach.
"He knows why he would come here and he knows that we are going to play good football and that it would be good for him, I think."
Tadic added: "You always need good players, and competition between players is better.
"It is good to have more choices."
