Southampton legend Terry Paine says Moussa Djenepo is just the player the club needs right now.
Injury has restricted the summer signing this season, but he could make a return in Saturday's clash with Arsenal.
"I'd like to see the young Djenepo play on Saturday and get a sustained run, free of injury," said Paine.
"He's given glimpses of hope and if he can get a run in the side and settle down in the side he might just be the difference.
"He's only 21 and only come in this season and got the injury so hasn't really had a chance to establish himself.
"If he can adapt to the Premier League he'll be big asset. But he needs to play in his right position to benefit the team."
