Southampton are entering new contract talks with manager Mark Hughes.

Hughes steered Southampton away from relegation and is now is talks to extend his spell at St Mary's.

“It just feels like the right hire at the right time for the club," chairman Ralph Krueger told BBC Sport.

“The decision to go with Mark in the time frame that we had to meet him and to bring him in was very tight, but everything since they've been here has been natural and the fit has been perfect.

“So, we're in really good conversation. We began these conversations last week and they continue here, and we will build on them."
