Southampton boss Ruben Selles admits they're now in a period of rumours and speculation in the final weeks of the season.
Saints face their relegation from the Premier League being confirmed.
"I haven't seen any distraction but it's true that May is a gossip month," Selles told the Daily Echo when asked if rumours of potential departures has effected his squad's concentration.
For everybody. For the club, for the coaches, for the players. Rumours, situations, end of contracts, new transfers, where do I play, where could be better for my family, where could be better for my futureIt's something that is in football in the transfer window in general.
So I haven't seen any distraction from any players or the technical staff but I know it is there. Not only for Southampton players and coaches but for every single player, coach, or sports director in football, in the Premier League or in any competition.
If you ask in any other club there are players that are not playing that expect to make a move for next season. Teams that are going to be promoted, players that don't know if they're going to be there or not, same thing with coaches. Players who don't want to play for one coach or who want to go play for another coach.
So there are a lot of different situations and it doesn't really matter which situation you're in because it's always going in one way or another."
