Southampton boss Ronald Koeman admits he needs a deeper squad.

Koeman says he needs more depth with a Europa League campaign looming.

He told the Mirror: "Yeah, first of all it's the quality of the player because you don't bring players in to have 28 players.

"The player needs to have a certain level to give competition to the rest of the players. In that position in the offensive midfield position, the position behind the striker, we need some more players that we can use in that position. That makes more competition to the team in a very strong difficult season that we will get because we will play Europa League football. Then you play until December six more games in already a busy Premier League season and you need experience, numbers in the squad to give real competition in all the competitions you have to play."
