"?Spanish striker Juanmi has officially left Southampton to join Real Sociedad on a permanent deal. The former Malaga star only joined the Saints last summer but failed to establish himself and didn't score a single Premier League goal.
A statement from the south coast club read, " Southampton Football Club would like to thank Juanmi for his time at the club and wish him well for the future."

The 23-year-old Andalucian native, who will not have a release clause of €35m, was introduced to the Spanish media on Thursday afternoon.
"I am very happy and proud to wear this shirt," Juanmi said as he was introduced as Sociedad player for the first time.
"I hope to help the team as much as I can. I hope that this season I can score more goals for the benefit of the team. Above all, I am comfortable in any position, but that is the coach's decision"
"La Real has great players and I will work hard to convince the manager."
