Pilgrim Puncheon in Saints switch

The 23-year-old winger, who had been on loan at Saints' League One rivals MK Dons, has agreed a three-and-a-half-year deal. "It's been a complicated transfer because of the situation with MK Dons and Plymouth but we are very pleased to have secured him," said Saints manager Alan Pardew. "He is a bit of a maverick footballer and I think the side could do with a bit of individual flair which he brings." Puncheon, who was not signed in time for Saturday afternoon's visit of Stockport, added: "I jumped at the chance to come here and I can't wait to get started."
