Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has warned fans not to expect a raft of big-money signings following the club's takeover as he focuses on unearthing potential stars.
Investment firm Sport Republic, backed by Serbian businessman Dragan Solak, this week bought an 80 per cent stake in Saints from previous owner Jisheng Gao.
Hasenhuttl is excited by the potential opportunities afforded by the change of ownership but does not envisage major deviation from the club's existing transfer policy and long-term strategy.
