TOYOSI DEAL IS GREAT FOR SAINTS

St Mirren receiving a six-figure fee for Toyosi Olusanya has been described as an "incredible bit of business" by Tony Fitzpatrick.
-
The Buddies icon praised the club for securing what is rumoured to be a £200,000 deal for the Londoner who joined MLS side Houston Dynamo on Wednesday.
Saints top scorer Olusanya was out of contract at the end of the season although had been offered fresh terms by gaffer Stephen Robinson.
As well as generating cash, Fitzpatrick felt Olusanya brought a lot to the table for Saints after turning his career around - he went from forgotten man on loan at Arbroath to hero status in the space of 12 months.
He said: “I remember when he first came in and I watched him and I thought he's raw, he’s pacy and he was strong but I thought, probably like most, he'd not become the player he has.
“He really surprised me but he’s developed into a real top, top player. Stephen’s done wonders with him.
