Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has lauded the performances of Jan Bednarek since he took charge at St Mary’s.
Hasenhuttl was named as Mark Hughes’ successor on December 5 and the Austrian tactician was set a huge challenge to avoid Premier League relegation.

Defender Bednarek, who joined from Lech Poznan in July 2017 for £5.7million, has found himself back in favour since the change in manager and he has featured in all 11 league games under the 51-year-old.
Speaking about the Poland international, Hasenhuttl says he has been thoroughly impressed by the 22-year-old. “I’ve seen him from the first day as a really good player,” he was quoted as saying by the Daily Echo.
“From the first training situation, I had the feeling he could give us much more. “From the moment I came, the trust I put in him, he’s paid back every minute he’s played. He’s been amazing.
The saves he’s made sometimes have helped us to get a lot of points. “I’ve been thinking the positives and deficits every player has and I haven’t found a lot of deficits in his game.”
