There aren’t too many players that can hold their head high after last season, but summer signing Mario Lemina is certainly one that can.
The midfielder moved from Juventus 12 months ago and proved to be hugely influential in the heart of the Saints midfield, thus prompting reported interest in his services from Manchester City this summer.
But with just a few days to go, Lemina remains a Southampton player, which is something that Hughes and the club must uphold beyond the 5pm deadline on Thursday.
