Pelle is set to earn £34m over his two-and-a-half-year contract. Confirmation of the move comes less than 24 hours after the conclusion of Euro 2016, where Pelle impressed with goals in wins against Belgium and Spain.Pelle's exit marks the third first-team member to leave Southampton this summer, following Victor Wanyama to Tottenham and Sadio Mane to Liverpool, while manager Ronald Koeman left for Everton.</blockquote>
