Damion Downs has signed a four-year contract with Southampton after transferring from FC Cologne. The 21-year-old striker scored 10 goals and provided five assists, contributing to Cologne's promotion to the Bundesliga. Southampton aims to bounce back to the Premier League after their relegation last season. Downs expressed his desire to win titles and contribute significantly to the team's success. The transfer fee for Downs is reported to be around €10 million. Downs joins several U.S. forwards in England's second tier, including Josh Sargent and Haji Wright.
"Everybody plays football to win titles. To win my first title at 20 last year was a great feeling, and I hope to repeat it again this year."
"I think Southampton is a big club that should be in the Premier League, and that's my goal -- to help the team as much as I can to bring the club back to the Premier League."
