Southampton youngster Ward-Prowse keen to learn Koeman free-kick knack

Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse hopes to improve his free-kick ability under manager Ronald Koeman.

Holland legend Koeman was a free-kick specialist in his playing days with the likes of Barcelona and Ajax.

And midfielder Ward-Prowse said: "I searched things online when we were linked with him and I found some great goals on YouTube.

"He was an impressive footballer in his day and he's a great manager to work under too.

"I haven't had a free-kick session with him yet. He's got a slightly different style to me, but I'm sure he'll be able to offer me some advice!

"Set-pieces are also important and they're a big part of my game so hopefully I can implement a few of those this season."
