Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has remained coy on links with RB Leipzig forward Jean-Kevin Augustin.

Hasenhuttl managed the 21-year-old in the Bundesliga.

Both the Saints and Saturday's opponents Everton have been linked with the Parisian.

"It's nice that you know we are linked with this guy! I don't want to explain if it is [true] or not," said Hasenhuttl.

"I know Jean-Kevin very well. I think every player I know well is linked with us.

"He has got qualities, he is quick, can score and is used to the high-pressing methods we use, so that would help him if he would be here.

"But he isn't and I don't want to discuss any players that are linked with us. If there is a player who has signed, we will tell you."
