Lots of Southampton fans have taken to Twitter to praise Sofiane Boufal's cameo against Brighton on what was his second appearance of the season.

The Morocco international spent the 2018/19 campaign out on loan with Celta Vigo in La Liga and he now faces the challenge of playing his way into Ralph Hasenhuttl's starting XI.

There was talk of the former Lille man leaving the club this summer, with Nice reportedly interested.

But his cameo against the Seagulls was extremely positive and serves to suggest that there could be life in his Southampton career yet.

Boufal played just 11 minutes, but still made one key pass - which turned into an assist - completed two dribbles and was fouled once as the 25-year-old injected life into the game.

After dispelling transfer rumours about himself on his own Twitter account, it appears that Boufal is intent on making an impression this season.

His impact at the Amex Stadium certainly impressed the Saints fans on Twitter, to say the least...
