Koeman: Southampton eyeing Champions League spot

Southampton is sixth in the Premier League, seven points behind fourth-place Manchester City with 12 matches remaining.

Southampton is eyeing Champions League qualification, with manager Ronald Koeman believing the club can mount a late top-four charge.

Koeman has led a resurgent Southampton up to sixth in the Premier League, just seven points adrift of the fourth and final Champions League qualifying position after 26 rounds, thanks to a six-match unbeaten streak. Southampton has won five games in that period to elevate itself into top-four contention.

"If Leicester can win the title, then we can be fourth or fifth in the league," Koeman said.
