Emmanuel Mayuka has joined French side FC Metz on a permanent basis.
The Zambian forward signed for Saints in August 2012. His spell at St Mary’s proved to be unsuccessful, with one goal in a total of 19 appearances.
Mayuka spent much of the 2013/14 season on loan at Sochaux and now returns to France on a full-time basis to join Metz, who were relegated to Ligue 2 last season.
