Southampton's latest signing Pablo Osvaldo has revealed that he is delighted to be reunited with manager Mauricio Pochettino.
The 27-year-old Italian striker joined the Saints from Roma on Sunday for a reported £15m fee.
Osvaldo, who previously played under Pochettino at Espanyol, is now looking forward to life in the Premier League.
"The season and a half that I shared with Mauricio was my best as a footballer," he told reporters. "I did well playing under him.
"It's great to work with Mauricio. He's a motivator. It feels great to be with someone who fully appreciates how I work."
Southampton started the new Premier League season with a 1-0 win at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.
