Koeman: My targets for Southampton this season

Southampton boss Ronald Koeman has clear goals in his first season in the Premier League.

He has his own specific targets, and they evidently include a respectable position in the top half or close while also continuing Saints' work of developing bright young talent.

"A successful season is if the team play in my way of playing, if the young players will develop and if we bring some good English players to the national team," he says.

"And if we are in a position around eighth in the league. Maybe seventh, maybe eighth, maybe eleventh. There's not a specific position on the list.

"The most important thing is the players and team play under my philosophy … If they show me that, then I'm happy with the performance of the team."
