New Southampton signing has already really impressed his new teammates behind-the-scenes
Russell Martin drafted in a huge amount of fresh faces over the summer at Southampton and one of them has already left an impression on his teammates.
Southampton have just one point to their name after five games in the Premier League, which sees them slot into the bottom three.
Russell Martin just hasn’t been able to get the best out of his side in the top-flight.
Late heartbreak against Ipswich Town cost the Saints their first three points of the season, and they’ve not come close since having conceded six goals in two games.
Now, a trip to Bournemouth is up next, but it won’t be easy as the Cherries picked up their first win of the season against Everton in a spirited performance.
Interestingly, Martin does have one new player at his disposal who has already been impressing.
Mateus Fernandes has already impressed his teammates at Southampton
Mateus Fernandes joined from Sporting Lisbon on a five-year deal for £15 million.
The Portuguese has started the last two games for the Saints and is impressing on the field as well as off it in the attacking midfield role.
His Southampton teammates were immediately impressed by his talents, according to the .
Indeed, the early signs are certainly promising, as Russell Martin believes Mateus Fernandes has the potential to “play wherever he wants.”
What else has Russell Martin said about Mateus Fernandes?
Mateus Fernandes appears to have made a big impact on Martin too.
“Matty signed here over a lot of other people because he understands – and to be fair, he has a good family and agent who understand he needs to play in a certain way.
“He needs to play in a team that really suits him. It’s amazing business for the club to get him. I think we have some exceptional young talent here.
“They will be helped by the likes of Adam (Lallana), Jack (Stephens) and Janny (Bednarek) – the experienced ones.
“We have to enjoy them because if they continue to do what they are doing, and we win some games of football, they will attract some interest.
“Mateus needs to get up to speed with the Premier League. Every bit of his talent, his guile, his creativity is matched with intensity, desire and fight to win.
“He has a brilliant mentality. I’m enjoying working with him and hopefully that will continue for a while.”
