SAINTS loanee Dynel Simeu has already got the stands and coaches home rocking with a signature song.
The 20-year-old centre-back has played just four matches in League Two for current team Tranmere Rovers, after a deadline day move.
Simeu is enjoying his second loan spell in League Two after becoming a fan favourite at Carlisle United last campaign.
The Southampton-local had hoped for a progressive move to either Championship or League One level but has had to settle for regular minutes in the fourth division again.
Simeu has been instrumental as Tranmere keep back-to-back clean sheets with 1-0 wins on the road at Salford City and Walsall United.
Class support yet again🙌🏾 @TranmereRovers https://t.co/0VztyBPEAN

Simeu was on the bench for Ralph Hasenhuttl during Saints’ trip to Cambridge United in the EFL Cup, after going on the pre-season tour of Austria but then playing the first four Premier League 2 matches of the season.
Like he did at Carlisle United, he has got Tranmere fans immediately on side and they sing his name – despite being a defender – in the ground and on the way home.
They chant: “Simeu, six-foot one defender, came from Cameroon, there ain’t nothing he can’t do. Simeu. Simeu.”
The club likely retain a recall clause and could move Simeu to a League One club if the interest comes in January.
But he has still played well under a full season of senior matches and all minutes are adding to the growth of the former Chelsea man – who signed for the club last summer.
