New Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl admits he wants to see his squad reduced.

The Austrian expects to see several sales next month.

Hasenhuttl says the squad he has inherited has "too much players", and that he has passed on his thoughts to club chairman Ralph Krueger.

He also said of the players: "I want to bring them to their limits. I don't know where their limits are. If they like to go this way with us they are invited. It will be a hard working way.

"When everyone is pushing limits to a higher level we can see how far it gets and when someone says it's too much running or too much work for me he will fall beside us. That's how I want to work until January."
