Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has lauded the professionalism of Oriol Romeu.

The 29-year-old has played over 190 times for Saints since joining from Chelsea in 2015.

Asked about working with the Spanish midfielder, Hasenhuttl said: "I have never seen a professional like him before in my entire managing career.

"He's one of the most professional guys I've ever seen.

"When you see him as a professional, how he reacts when he's not first choice, it's unbelievable.

"He's always the first on the pitch, always hard working. I think for this, they love him here."
