OOJ - Eljero Elia
Southampton have agreed a deal to sign Werder Bremen winger Eljero Elia on loan until the end of the season.
The Netherlands international, 27, will join on 3 January. The transfer likely to become permanent in the summer.
Saints need Elia because Jay Rodriguez has had cruciate knee ligament surgery and Sadio Mane is going to the Africa Cup of Nations.
Speaking before the move was confirmed, Saints boss Ronald Koeman said: "He will be a good option."
Ex-FC Twente and Hamburg man Elia made 33 appearances for Bremen last season.
He has 27 international caps and was part of his country's 2010 World Cup squad.
