Ryan Bertrand is delighted to have signed permanently with Southampton.
The former Chelsea fullback turned his loan into an outright transfer on Monday.
He told saintsfc.co.uk: "I wanted to sign and commit somewhere instead of carrying on doing loans. When I had the chance to sign here, it was the perfect match.
"I have really enjoyed my time here in the first half of the season and I'm delighted to make it permanent.
"Whether I'm on loan or permanent, I will give 100 per cent, no problem, but moving here gives me added incentive as well.
"Finally I can say this is my club and I'm proud to do that. The work starts here and I'm really looking forward to it."
