Southampton midfielder Mario Lemina says Yan Valery has a big future in the game.

Speaking with Foot Mercato, Lemina sees Valery soon breaking into the senior France squad.

Lemina said, "Yan Valéry is a good friend. I'm happy for him.

"When I saw him coming in first team, he was very shy, he was not sure of his qualities. Today, he shows more maturity, he works very very hard.

"I think he's a good hope for France."
