Peretz's dream is to play in the Premier League and on the highest stages in the world, but he believes that being part of Southampton is a bigger dream for him. He said, "A bigger dream for me is to be there with Southampton. I really believe that we can be there and achieve that."

Group technical director Johannes Spors also commented on the move, saying that Daniel's qualities were clear when they signed him on loan in January. He added, "He has a confidence in his own ability that transmits to the players in front of him. We are delighted to welcome him back to Southampton on a long-term contract and determined to build on the successes we experienced together last season."

The club is also reportedly pursuing a permanent transfer for Cyle Larin, who spent the second half of the season on loan from RCD Mallorca.
