DUTCH goalkeeper Justin Bijlow was brought to tears as he bid farewell to Feyenoord supporters ahead of a proposed move to Saints.
Bijlow, who has spent his entire professional career at Feyenoord, was visually emotional as he was serenaded by fans on Sunday.
The 26 year old was named among the substitutes for Feyenoord's 1-1 draw against Sparta Rotterdam in the Rotterdam derby.

The eight-time Netherlands international has made 143 appearances for Feyenoord since making his debut, winning two Dutch titles in that time.
Bijlow is expected to travel to England for a medical as Southampton look to add a new goalkeeper following Mateusz Lis' departure.
Bijlow will provide competition for current first-choice goalkeeper Alex McCarthy and back-up keeper Joe Lumley.
The latest reports in the Netherlands suggest he could arrive on an initial loan deal with an obligation to buy clause based on appearances.
