Ralph Hasenhuttl is adamant Mohamed Salisu has a big future with Southampton.
Injuries and fitness issues delayed the 21-year-old's debut for the club until February 2021.
But after a terrific performance against Leicester last week, Hasenhuttl is excited about the young centre-back.
Asked about his potential, the Austrian told the Daily Echo: "I think against the ball he has big strength.
"With the ball he can still improve and get better, but I think this is also a part of the game that we are working hard with him on it. Finally I am sure that for us he will be a big player in the future."
