Ex-Spurs striker Freddie Kanoute thinks countrymen Moussa Djenepo will thrive at Southampton.

Kanoute has watched the Mali international striker over the course of his career and believes Saints are the perfect match for his talents.

Speaking to the Daily Echo, Kanoute said: "I think that's why he [Hasenhuttl] wanted him.

"From the beginning, he said he wants these types of players and he has followed a lot of his games from when he was at Standard Liege.

"Moussa is this kind of player, and since he was in the academy in Mali, I have been working with him.

"Because he is this type of player, I always wanted to take him to Europe.

"His style is sought after in Europe: players that can beat players who can provoke dangerous situations.

"I think it's going to be a perfect match."
