Gaston Ramirez States He Is Happy At Saints

Speaking to an Italian Football Website Gaston Ramirez has reiterated he is happy where he is at St Mary's.

Saints club record signing Gaston Ramirez has told the Italian Press that despite alleged interest from Juventus and Fiorentina that he is not looking for a return to Serie A.

In fairness its been a chequered year for the Uruaguayan who at times has looked brilliant, but more often than not struggled with the pace of the Premier league, under Mauricio Pochettino appearances became less frequent and after featuring in the starting line up of Pochettinos early teams found himself on the bench more often than he would have liked.

This being the case he only played around a third of the minutes he could hve played under the new manager, yes some of this was down to his suspension that caused him to miss the final three games, but even accounting for that he would have still played well under half of the game time he could have played.

“There is a lot of talk about the transfer market but I think I'll stay at Southampton" Ramirez told an Italian football website.

"I want to repay the trust of the club. I'm happy in England and I have always dreamed of playing in the Premier League.

"There has been talk in the past of interest from Fiorentina and they are a club that I like. But Southampton count on me a lot."

So the big question is whether Ramirez is ready to knuckle down and make his second season a big success and indeed whether Mauricio Pochettino sees him as  major part of his plans for the coming season.
