Djenepo made his first appearance of the 2021–22 season on 14 August 2021 in a 3–1 defeat to Everton.[22] Djenepo only made 16 appearances during the campaign and scored no goals for the club.[23]

On 6 August 2022, Djenepo made his first appearance of the season in a 4–1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.[24] On 14 September 2022, Southampton announced Djenepo had signed a new three-year contract until 2025.[25] On 11 January 2023, Djenepo scored in a 2–0 victory against Manchester City in the EFL Cup.[26]
