Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl is very happy with the core of young players at the club.
Hasenhuttl has assembled a group of very talented footballers, not least in the forward positions.
The likes of Adam Armstrong, Chelsea loanee Armando Broja, and Che Adams have a great deal of potential moving forward.
Asked if the current group is the best set of young forwards he has had at the club, Hasenhuttl told the Daily Echo: "Yes, definitely.
"Broja is very young, Nathan Tella (22) is very young, Arma is not old and Che is also not old.
"It's a very young squad in general, and this is what we have tried to rebuild. We lost experienced players in (Ryan) Bertrand, (Jannik) Vestergaard, (Danny) Ings, and replaced them with young hungry lads who like to learn, and they like to get better."
He added: "This is the only way we can go as a club.
"We know it takes time, especially scoring goals in the Premier League is the toughest job to do, but the guys have shown now that they are getting better and getting used to adapting to higher quality, and they are showing that they can score there."
