Kevin Keegan believes Southampton manager Mark Hughes will raid his former club, Stoke City.

The Potters were relegated this season and a number of their stars are for sale, including Xherdan Shaqiri.

"He'll have a few ideas, won't he," the former Saints star said about Hughes.

"He's experienced, and he'll be going back to the clubs he's been at, Stoke for one.

"He'll be looking at players who have impressed him when they've played against his teams and he'll be looking to try and attract the sort of players that Southampton can attract.

"That's not going to be big big names, it's going to be the ones who have got something to prove. Younger ones hopefully but it's likely it'll be a mixture of experience and youth, which is always good.

"He's got his own ideas and he's got a clean piece of paper to work with now.

"The relegation has been fought off, now you start level with every other team next season.

"I expect Southampton to finish mid-table next year and maybe in the top half."
