Southampton midfielder Oriol Romeu has praised the young talent that the Saints have been producing and now playing under new boss Ralph Hasenhuttl.
Under Hasenhuttl, the likes of Callum Slattery, Yan Valery, Michael Obafemi, Marcus Barnes, Kayne Ramsay and Tyreke Johnson have all featured.
Slattery has been with the Saints since just eight-years-old and Romeu has praised the youngster's performances.
"He played against Burnley, which is one of the toughest teams, and you couldn't tell it was his first Premier League match," Romeu said.

"He is a strong lad, he has good endurance, he fights for the team and he is going to learn a lot of things, but he is on the right path.
"It's good to see how the young players are doing a good job and you need to give the academy some credit.
"If you are the U14 manager, and players you have coached are now in the first-team, it shows they are doing the right things."
Hasenhuttl has the correct balance of youth and experience within the Southampton squad, Romeu also thinks.
"I think if the young players are coming in, and are mixed with senior players, then it will be easier to get through the tough moments," the Saints midfielder continued.
"They are going to make mistakes but players who have played more games, also make mistakes and it's about how they deal with it.
"But by playing and having those chances, they are going to deal with them much better.
"I think everyone around the team, if they see something that can help them, or even me, then I would like them to because that's the way it has to work."
