Southampton boss Ronald Koeman says Matt Targett will see plenty of action this season despite the arrival of Ryan Bertrand.
Chelsea fullback Bertrand has joined Saints on a season-long loan.
Koeman told the Saints website: "I've been very impressed with how Matt Targett is doing in pre-season, but he is still young and developing, which I am sure he will continue to do over the coming seasons.
"Left-back is an important position in the team because it is quite specialised in terms of the attributes needed to play there, so it is nice to get this signing completed because it gives us some stability."
