Lemina joins OGC Nice

The permanent move brings a close to the 27-year-old’s four-year spell at Saints, where he made 52 appearances, scoring twice.

Spending the last two seasons on loan at Galatasaray and Fulham respectively, the Gabon international now joins a Nice side who finished ninth in the top-flight last season.

The club would like to thank Mario for his service and wish him all the best for the future.
