Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl admits Tino Livramento could play as a winger long-term.
Livramento is currently playing at fullback for Saints.
Hasenhuttl told the Daily Echo: “Good question. I am sure that he could play in this position also.
“I think the question is always where you can bring his qualities most to shine.
“I have to do that every week.He has his qualities up front but he also is defensively very strong.
“You know that his positions in the Premier League are very often strong one against one players, and there he was for me in some moments the better option now than Kyle (Walker-Peters) who did last season a very good job, I think I have a very good combination.
“I also have Yan Valery there who is defensively strong and has very good physique. On the other side, Romain and Kyle on the other side also good alternatives, Thierry Small is coming in the young lad, we have now five players in the full-back positions if you want.
“This is the future for the club and these players will definitely all have chances to play.
"They will get their chances to play.
"In the 10 position we have the same issue where I put Tino up and we also have five players.
“There are players there I want to play like Stuart Armstrong, Theo Walcott, Nathan Redmond, Moussa Djenepo and Moi Elyounoussi."
