Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl is delighted with the progress of Thierry Small.
The teen joined Southampton in the summer from Everton.
Speaking to the Daily Echo, Hasenhuttl said: “I was very pleased with the whole performance of the under-23s, they seemed also to have found a turnaround now with Nathan Tella, Will Smallbone, Thierry Small playing for them.
“Thierry I must say, very enjoyable to watch this lad, feels absolutely good here at this club. He has some really good potential, physically, mentally he is a fantastic guy I think.
“Very positive, enjoys everything he does. Very shiny person I must say, still a lot of things to learn but I like to work with this player."
He added: "It's the way I was always working in my managerial career that we have young, good players with positive energy that can improve, we can make them better.
"He feels good in the team and the team loves him also."
