Juventus announces that Mario Lemina has signed for English Premier League side, Southampton FC, after spending two seasons in Turin.
After initially joining the Bianconeri on loan in September 2015, Juve made his move from Marseille permanent in April the following year, the midfielder demonstrating undisputed technical skill and an impressive work-rate during matches and training sessions alike.
Best known for his defensive qualities – he won 157 duels and 52 tackles in his 42 appearances – Lemina also notched three goals in the black and white, all of which coming away from home against Napoli, Atalanta and most recently Roma.
It was at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome that the Gabon international played two Coppa Italia finals, winning both, whilst he also contributed to consecutive Scudetto triumphs that confirmed the club’s unprecedented three domestic doubles in a row.
Everyone at Juventus wishes Mario the very best for the next step in his career.
