Southampton Football Club can confirm that Gastón Ramírez has joined Hull City on loan for the rest of the season.

With Ramírez keen for regular first-team football, something has been further limited by recent attacking additions to the squad, the Uruguayan has been allowed to join the Tigers on a temporary basis.

23-year-old Ramírez will not be allowed to play against Saints when the teams meet this season, and will return to St Mary’s next summer.
