Southampton midfielder Nathan Redmond recognises his position as a senior leader within the squad.

Maya Yoshida remained to be an influential figure until he left to join Sampdoria on loan in January which leaves players such as Ryan Bertrand, Oriol Romeu and Shane Long taking the lead.

Saints' winger told the Daily Echo: “I've had those conversations when Jose Fonte was here, Dusan Tadic, Virgil, Bertie [Ryan Bertrand], Steven Davis and Longy.

“All these players that are still here give me advice to this day because you are never too old to learn.

“It's a learning process and if you are mentally strong you will get through it."
