SAINTS have signed Fiorentina striker Papa Waigo N'Diaye on loan until the end of the season.
A deal for the 25-year-old was done yesterday, ahead of the transfer window closing, but Saints only received confirmation from the Football League this afternoon.
Saints have an option to purchase the Senegalese international at the end of his loan period.
Like Radhi Jaidi's signing, the deal is subject to work permit formalities being completed.
Saints boss Alan Pardew said: "We wanted another creative player and he comes highly recommended.
"He's a quick, creative forward player who will help us score more goals and I can't wait to see him in a Saints shirt."
Waigo N'Diaye added: "I am excited to be coming to England and I'm looking forward to showing the Southampton fans what I can do."
