Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has revealed he has big plans for the club's academy.

The Austrian wants to revive the club's feeder system, which over the years has produced such players as Gareth Bale, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Luke Shaw, Theo Walcott and Adam Lallana.

"Every time we have the chance to speak about young players, we do it. I need this feedback," said Hasenhuttl.

"I need to have a good view in this team with one of my assistant coaches [Craig Fleming] who knows every player in the Under-23s.

"When they are coming up to us, he is the first manager who speaks to them and to take care of them.

"He works on their deficits, so he has a good relationship with them which helps me.

"At the moment, we are concentrating on our team because this situation takes every person of my team to work with the first team.

"But for the future, I have big plans for the academy.

"I want to bring a good philosophy to Southampton Football Club."
