Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl is happy to welcome veteran Theo Walcott to the club.

The Englishman was a Saints youth product before he went to Arsenal in 2006.

Now he is back, 14 years later, and Hasenhuttl is delighted. Walcott signs from Everton on transfer deadline day on a loan deal.

"There is a lot of history between this club and Theo, so I know how special this will be for him and for our supporters," said manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

"But what is most important to me is that we have signed a player who can help our squad and give us another strong option in our attack.

"Theo is someone who has all the qualities to fit well into our team and our style of play, and I know from speaking to him that he understands what we want and that he is excited to be a part of what we are doing here.

"His experience and influence will also be important for our young players. The idea is not to block their development, but for this to make it faster. From this professional they can learn and grow as players for the future of our club."
