Southampton captain Jose Fonte feels their squad is still short.

Fonte is backing Saints to continue their signing spree in the coming weeks.

“We lost Clyney, we got Cedric and Cuco. We bought good replacements for that position, so I'm happy with that," Fonte told the Daily Echo.

“We lost Morgan, we still got Clasie, who showed [against Feyenoord] that he's a good player, but we still need a defensive midfield and if we can get a defensive midfield and another centre back to cover or to compete with me and Maya [Yoshida], and the others, we will be in a great position.

“I know the club is working behind the scenes to get another two or three signings.

“If we can get them, good quality signings again, I think we'll be in a great position for this season again."
