Southampton manager Jones said:
“Mislav is a significant addition to our squad and I’m delighted we have been able to get him in so quickly this month.
“He’s a serious attacking threat and I’m sure anyone who has followed his progress or saw what he achieved at the World Cup will realise the talent he has. We’re excited to have him here.”
“I feel very happy to be here, I think it’s a dream for every football player to come to play in the Premier League and I’m here, I’m ready, I’m motivated and I hope that I will help the team to achieve their goals.
“When I come here to the camp, it’s amazing, and I’m sure I will really enjoy my time here. Now it’s a little bit of a difficult situation for the club, but I think we need to stay together. We have only one plan – to stay in the Premier League. We need to work hard every day and I hope that at the end of the year we will be happy.”
Orsic added.
