Paul Onuachu admitted he is reconsidering his future at Premier League club Southampton.
The Nigeria international was desperate to leave the Saints in the summer after impressing on loan at Trabzonspor last season.
Onuachu is however determined to turn things around under new manager Ivan Juric.
Onuachu told the Daily Echo: “It’s been (an) up and down season. First of all, we were talking about transferring and leaving the team.
“It didn’t happen. I kept working hard and believing in myself. Russell Martin saw I had potential and started including me.

“He started to believe in me. He gave me some chances and I think I executed them very well. Now we are here.”
He continued: “Russ spoke to me when I got back from loan but I felt like I probably wasn’t going to get a chance like he told me.
“I just wanted to leave (and go) where I could play more. But he actually spoke to me saying he wanted me to stay.
“I felt like, probably, that some minutes is not really being involved. I wanted to leave at that time. This has happened a lot of times already in my career.
“I don’t care if I’m training with the B team, C team or by myself. I give everything when I am training, whether that is with one coach, two coaches or three coaches.”
