He made 232 appearances for the south coast club and scored 30 goals.
“It is a good change for him, after six years it was maybe time to get something new for him,” said Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.
“We had a fantastic time here together, nearly four years, with a lot of very good moments, some also not-so-good ones.
“But I absolutely had a good relationship with him until the end, even there he showed his professionalism in such moments.”
He added: “It’s a big change for him but I think he made a good choice.”
