Koeman blasts Southampton academy

Southampton has sold several stars in recent seasons, but Ronald Koeman is concerned with the next crop coming through.

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has taken aim at the club's academy after being unimpressed at a recent under-21 fixture.

The Dutchman has been forced to sell some of his biggest stars in recent seasons, and could be set for another difficult offseason with the likes of Sadio Mane and Victor Wanyama rumoured to be on their way out.

Southampton has produced the likes of Gareth Bale, Theo Walcott and Adam Lallana in recent times, and Koeman has expressed concerns over the next crop of young players coming through.
