With Southampton supporters set to return to St Mary’s this weekend, SAINTS is back with a host of new features to mark the occasion.
Defender Jan Bednarek is the subject of a bumper interview in which he reflects on the tough start he endured to his Saints career, and how he’s seized his chance under Ralph Hasenhüttl to become a mainstay of the Austrian’s backline.
Now committed to his club until 2025, the Polish international has been drawn alongside England in World Cup qualifying and has been outlining his future ambitions, on and off the pitch.
Moussa Djenepo also stars in issue 6, discussing how he’s adapted to English football, role models, music taste and his favourite goal of his career to date.
Manager Ralph Hasenhüttl welcomes back supporters with a special message, while Jannik Vestergaard looks talks through the win at Brighton, the return of Danny Ings and the thrill of playing in front of a crowd.
Visitors Sheffield United are scrutinised by tactics writer Sam Tighe, Franny Benali guards against complacency and there is the traditional mix of nostalgic throwbacks to Saints’ past along with quizzes and games to entertain our younger readers.
