Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl admits they need to add to the fullback positions this summer.

Hasenhuttl insisted Saints “know that we have to do something there in the summer" regarding full-back cover, after trying to recruit in January.

Asked whether he regretted not bringing in a full-back in January, Hasenhuttl replied: “Yeah, this is no surprise that we tried it, yeah?

“I mean, we tried everything but it wasn't possible in the winter, because of the special situation every club was in.

“With covid and everything, nobody wanted to loan players because nobody knew how we were at that moment, with the situation where numbers were rising – we had big problems with covid cases in the league.

“We tried everything but it didn't work.

“Finally, we know that we have to do something there in the summer - and therefore we have to concentrate now."
