‘Reminded me’ – Saints legend Le Tissier lauds ‘massive positive’ Larin

Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier praised striker Cyle Larin, calling his permanent signing from RCD Mallorca in the summer a massive positive for the club. Larin has scored eight goals across all competitions so far this season to lead the Championship scoring charts, following a productive loan spell during the second half of the previous campaign.

Le Tissier highlighted Larin's physical presence and all-around ability, comparing one of the Canadian forward's goals against Millwall to his own playing days. Head coach Tonda Eckert's side has navigated a four-point deduction related to a spying controversy while awaiting a final FA verdict, despite maintaining a perfect home league record.
