Southampton defender Dynel Simeu is happy on-loan at Tranmere Rovers.

Simeu is in his second loan spell after spending last season with Carlisle United.

He told the Daily Echo: “They sing that a lot and it doesn't go unnoticed on the pitch, especially when they're all behind you and clapping you. It feels class.

“It doesn't go over my head, I show the love back. Whether that's giving to charity or stopping to take a photo with a young fan, I know it goes a long way because I was that kid playing Sunday league at 13 with the same dream."

Simeu explained: “That was why it was important for me to not play under-21s football this season; coming off the back of playing in front 8,000 or so fans it's harder to recreate that.

“Whether it's people booing you or cheering you on, it's an atmosphere you can't make up."
