"I'm really happy to have signed, and I'm just wanting to get the season up and going now.We've got a great group of players here, who I've been with for the last three years," the club's official website quoted Redmond as saying.

"I see them every single day and it's a pleasure to go out there and perform with them at the weekend and train hard with them every single week. I feel like we can hopefully build something special and to be a part of it for the next four years is good for me," he added.

Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl said it is 'very good' news for the club.
