Southampton manager Ronald Koeman is confident his new players will adapt to life in the Premier League over the next few weeks.

Southampton have endured a difficult start to their Premier League campaign so far and most of their new signings have looked sluggish in the first two matches of the season.

But Koeman said: "That was exceptionally good, because the adaptation of most of the players – most of the front players – was exceptional and now in the whole organisation in the team it's a little bit different.

"We don't have doubts about the qualities of the squad, I don't have doubts about the new players, but some ones need a little bit more time than other players and that's normal, but we know exactly what is going wrong.

"I'm not nervous, I'm convinced in the team and the players and we will show that in the next couple of weeks. When you do it one time, you will not say that the next time it will be the same, but I'm realistic and we know, we compared it to last season, we were two games, one point. It's now the same."
