Though football is on hold for the time being, that hasn’t stopped Southampton and manager Ralph Hasenhüttl from getting ready for next season.

“We can’t say what impact this will have on the transfer market, but we are prepared for it and we have the time now to get in contact with everybody.

“You have to remember that the players we want to sell will also be worth less money.

“It has an impact on every club and I think, in the end, when the transfers are starting, and you have some issues, you will do everything to get the player you want.

“I don’t see the prices dropping that far but the selection would be a more critical one and, therefore, you have to be prepared.”

Southampton are not exactly out of the water just yet, however. With nine games to go, they are seven points clear of the drop zone, with a top-10 finish the unanimous goal in the dressing room.
