SAINTS record signing Sofiane Boufal has been fined more than £800 for speeding in Southampton city centre last Christmas.

The attacking midfielder, 23, was clocked by a fixed camera doing 36 miles per hour in a 30mph zone on December 18, last year.

Boufal admitted the charge, committed whilst driving a 15-reg Range Rover on the A33 St Marys Place/Kingsway, near Hoglands Park, when his case was heard at Aldershot Magistrates Court.

Magistrates fined him £660, with a victim surcharge of £66 and ordered he pay legal costs of £85.

The Bench also ordered that his licence be endorsed with three penalty points.

Boufal’s address was given in court as Staplewood Campus, Long Lane, Marchwood, which is Saints’ training complex.

He signed a five-year contract for Saints last August for an undisclosed fee believed to have been around £16 million from French League 1 side Lille.

His first injury-hit season was regarded as disappointing, playing 20 times and scoring just one goal, a superb 20-yard curling shot against Sunderland in the League Cup last October. In his last two seasons in France he scored 14 goals in 43 appearances.

He has one of the highest profiles on social media with 218,000 followers on Instagram, short of Saints’ striker Marco Gabbiadini’s 225,000.
