"Southampton" club strategist Mauricio Pochettino has started assembling the team for the upcoming season. The first Argentine purchase was 23-year-old Croatian national team and Lyon midfielder Dejan Lovren. "Southampton" will pay £8.5 million for this footballer. This amount could increase due to bonuses reaching up to £1.7 million. D.Lovren arrived in France in winter of 2010 from Zagreb's "Dinamo" club. At that time, the Lyon team paid almost £7 million for him. This season, the Croatian played only 18 matches in the Ligue 1 championship and scored one goal.
