James Ward-Prowse hailed the performance of Southampton teammate Shane Long for victory over West Brom.
Ward-Prowse expects new signing Charlie Austin to follow his example.
He said: "Shane runs his socks off for 90 minutes every game. Those are the sort of people you need and I'm sure Charlie will buy into that and work hard as well.
"The Southampton philosophy is based on hard work.
"He's been brought in to score goals so if he can repay that that'll be great."
