Welcome back to the Premier League Jane. How does it feel to be back?
It feels pretty amazing to be back. We had a rough season when we got relegated but we all knew that we would be back and I’m happy to be back under new management and a better squad.
Speaking of your manager, what are your thoughts on Russell Martin?
He’s a good manager. He seems to have got a really good relationship with all of the squad and I’m really excited to see how he can handle the pressure of being a manager of a Premier League club.
You’ve permanently signed Flynn Downes. Can you describe the impact he’s had on Southampton?
We all love him at Southampton. He’s such a good player and how he holds himself in midfield is brilliant. You can see that he’s learnt from the likes of Rice and Noble in some aspects in the way that he’s played.
What were your thoughts on JWP leaving Southampton to join West Ham?
To be honest he was too good to play Championship level and we knew that when we went down, it would be really tough to hold onto him. I’m pleased that he’s joined West Ham and I wish him the best but that’s as far as it goes. I hope our fans will show him the respect he deserves.
Any new signings we should look out for from both your teams?
We’ve just signed Yukinari Sugawara from AZ Alkmaar on a four year contract. I’m excited to see him playing at right back and what he has to offer.
What would be a success for your side this season?
Definitely for this season it’s to stay up then if we succeed it would be to climb the table. Hopefully we can stay up and show everyone exactly why we belong in the Premier League.
