​Southampton spying fullback signing despite Valery progress

 


Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl praised Yan Valery for his improvement this past season.

He did, however, indicate that the Saints would be looking at making a right-back signing this summer.

Valery was previously a right-back, while he can also play in right-midfield if required.

"I think it was a big step forward for him this season, showing that he can also play centre-back," Hasenhuttl told the Daily Echo.

"He showed some good performances on this position and at the moment I see him more there than on the full-back.

"This is for sure that we have had three players who have always played this position [right-back] this season, and now one is injured for a long time," he added.

"We do something this summer on this position, this is also clear."
