Southampton have announced the signing of midfielder Carlos Alcaraz.
The 20-year-old joins from Racing Club in his native Argentina on a four-and-a-half-year deal and is Southampton's second signing of the January transfer window.
“He will give us a really exciting option and add a bit more creativity into the side, which is something that will be a real benefit to us,” Southampton manager Nathan Jones told the club's official website.

“I’m very happy to be becoming part of this club. I knew that it would be a new challenge for me and for my career, so I wanted to take that, knowing that I would be joining a great club,” Alcaraz said.
Alcaraz could make his Premier League debut when Southampton travel to relegation rivals Everton on 14 January, if Saints submit the required completed documents by midday Friday.
