Saints flop Emmanuel Mayuka has left the club to join French side Metz on a three-year deal.

The Zambian striker moved to St Mary's for around £3m in 2012, but has failed to find favour with any manager since then.

He made just one league start for Saints in his three years at the club, and scored just once for the club, in a 5-1 Captial One Cup victory over Barnsley back in 2013.

Ronald Koeman recently confirmed that Mayuka had no future with the club and they have now got him off of the wage bill.
