Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl is happy with the depth of his squad.
Hasenhuttl used the money from the sales of Danny Ings and Jannick Vestergaard to bring in a total of seven players with Adam Armstrong and Valentino Livramento having already made an impact.
“In nearly every position we have definitely a good competition. To speak about strengthening in every position was the plan for the summer and I think the signings definitely did this," said the Saints boss.
“We have a few luxury problems, if you want, but we will need this bigger side for the whole season. We had experiences last season where we were a bit short of alternatives in some moments so that's the reason why we tried to extend the group a little bit.
“I was happy with the work we did in the summer. Nearly everything that we wanted to do finally happened.
“It helped massively that we got a lot of money for Ingsy and Jannik. This was fundamental for us to be active in the transfer market because we have no owner who gives us a lot of money for buying players, we have to sell players if we want to buy anyone."
