Southampton chairman Ralph Krueger admits they're considering a preseason tour beyond Europe.

Krueger is keen to make Saints an established name in places such as North America and Japan.

He told the Daily Echo: "There are conversations right now to take the trip to possibly outside of Europe.

"Where exactly, we've got some options on the table, but they need to fit into the whole picture."
