"There was no reason to leave the club. I have been here for five years. In that time, I have had difficult moments, good moments – everything," Yoshida told the club's website.

"I feel like it's my home and I'm very happy to continue my journey with Southampton. It's a new chapter for my career."

Southampton travel to Huddersfield Town in the league on Saturday.
