Koeman assured Southampton do not need to sell stars

New Southampton boss Ronald Koeman has been assured he's under no pressure to sell off their squad.

The Daily Mail says his first task will be to try and persuade stars like Adam Lallana and Luke Shaw to stay at St Mary's.

Having already lost England striker Rickie Lambert to Liverpool, the likes of Lallana, Shaw, Dejan Lovren and Morgan Schneiderlin have all been linked with moves away.

Sources insist Koeman is not under any financial pressure to sell players this summer and the club will wait for their players to return from the World Cup before deciding their futures.
