Following the deadline day signing of Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu, Southampton coach Nathan Jones has described the capturing of the Nigerian as significant for the struggling Premiership side.

Onuachu's arrival from Belgian side Genk was announced Tuesday after the deadline for the January window, with Saints having submitted a deal sheet to the Premier League in order to complete the transfer.

Onuachu was the second signing by Southampton on deadline day, with Ghanaian forward Kamaldeen Sulemana also joining from Rennes.

An elated Jones said: 'Paul [Onuachu] is a significant signing for us and completes what has been an extremely positive month in terms of recruitment.

'He's a handful to play against, has got a tremendous record throughout his career and he's also someone who brings great experience with him, so he'll be a really positive addition to the squad.'
