Crystal Palace boss Tony Pulis has lauded the success of Southampton's academy.
With four players from the club having been provided to the senior England team this week, as well as many more at youth level, there has been a lot of praise sent in the direction of St Mary's.
"They've done it consistently for a long time. They haven't just stumbled over it," Pulis said.
"There's people who have been there for years and years, and they have got a very, very good scouting set-up, but also the people that work there, before you even get to becoming professionals, are really good lads.
"They don't worry just about the technical side of it, they actually worry about the players' attitude and responsibility. Most of the lads who come out of that club, if you have a look at them, are good lads as well, they're not just good players.
"They've got the jigsaw sorted out, and the pieces are in the right place."
