When I came back I told Sven he was a player to watch out for. He's special. His touch is excellent and he can beat people with pace and technique. He has the attributes necessary in today's football. We wanted to see him in a first team and he's done very well for Southampton. The next thing is to see him in the Premiership. He's perhaps even ready to play in the under-21s.

There has been no offer, no talks. It was not more than a question.

Nothing has been decided yet where we will go, but if something happens, it will happen in the next two weeks.

If he gets more football with another club it is a good move because he needs to play. Sven likes him and so do I.

He's been very sharp in every training session he's played with us, but particularly over the last couple of days. I hope that he can take that into the game now.
