Southampton boss Ronald Koeman wants his players focused on their next clash with Stoke City.

Former Saints manager Mauricio Pochettino will bring Tottenham to St Mary's next week.

Koeman said: "Yes, I can understand that, but next we play first Stoke City and the most important is always the next one and, ok, maybe after a good result we have time to think about Tottenham.

"It's a great game, a lot of something for the fans to look forward, but we are professionals and we have to look to the next week."
