Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl insists he isn't focused on Cedric Soares.
Right-back Soares declared his intent to leave Saints at the expiration of his contract this summer.
Asked whether he had spoken to Cedric about the defender's future, Hasenhuttl replied: "At the moment no, because we have other problems.
"I think every discussion about transfers or extending contracts we stop and put on ice until Christmas because we should first all look to focus on our work on the pitch."
