Jon Otsemobor hopes to bring success to Saints this season following his move from Norwich City.

The 26 year-old right back has played a plethora of games at Championship and League One level and after speaking with his new manager Alan Pardew, he was in no doubt about where the Club can go.

"I'm very impressed," he said at the Saints training ground. "I spoke to the manager earlier today and he made it clear that first and foremost we want to get out of this league and take it on from there.

"I found myself in a situation at Norwich where I wasn't playing and was in the last year of my contract, so I sat down with the manager and said that it was important that I played games. Once I knew Southampton were interested it was a just a case of the getting the clubs to agree to a move.

"It's definitely set up for the Championship here. I don't know the lads yet but the squad is decent the lads just need a winning mentality and that's what the manager is going to try and instil into the squad.

"To be where we are after the ten point deduction shows that there's been some sort of momentum, so I think it's case of trying to keep some consistency especially in this league if you get a good run together you never know where you can end up. If we can do it then the play-offs are a possibility."

The Liverpudlian could make his debut as soon as this weekend for the trip to Millwall in League One prior to a big week of league and cup action for the Club. He and fellow new addition Daniel Seaborne are cup-tied for the latter two fixtures next week, but Otsemobor says he will be a fully fledged Saint watching on.

"It's exciting to be involved in and whilst we'll have to watch from the sidelines we are Saints players now so we want them to do well and progress in both cups.

"Whether the manager decides to put all three of us (he, Seaborne and José Fonte) in straightaway is one you'll have to ask him, but we've come here and we want to play as do the lads that are already here, so there'll be good competition for places and hopefully if you're good enough in training during the week then you'll get the shirt at the weekend.

"I've played against Saints a few times and you train through the week thinking about the players you'll face like Lallana and Lambert, they're quality players so I'm looking forward to training with them," he concluded.
