(Reuters) - Southampton midfielder Oriol Romeu is enjoying being one of the first names on manager Claude Puel's team sheet after struggling to nail down a place at his former clubs Chelsea and Barcelona.

Spaniard Romeu, who joined Southampton in 2015 after loan spells at VfB Stuttgart and Valencia, has appeared in 37 of the south coast club's 42 fixtures in this campaign compared with just nine appearances in his final season at Chelsea.
