Southampton striker Emmanuel Mayuka has left the South Coast club to join French side Metz on a three-year deal.
The 24-year-old failed to establish himself at St Mary's since his £3m switch from Young Boys in 2012, with Ronald Koeman going on record to admit that he had "no future at the club".
Metz, who were relegated from Ligue 1 in May, confirmed the arrival of the Zambia international at the Stade Saint-Symphorien.
Mayuka was part of the Zambia squad that won the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
