New Southampton defender Dejan Lovren has admitted that he wants to settle quickly into life at the club.
The 23-year-old joined the Saints for an undisclosed fee earlier this week and signed a four-year deal with Mauricio Pochettino's side.
Lovren told the club's official website: "I think I will be here (in Southampton) a few days earlier than the others because I need to know the people, the town and the players.
"It's important for me to have my future resolved because I am a young player, and I want to know where I will be playing. It was important for me to know that now.
"This was my decision to take, and I think it's a good choice. I think it will be great."
Lovren made 23 appearances for his former club Lyon last season.
