‘I see him there this season’ – Hasenhuttl hints at Djenepo’s new position for Southampton

The Mali winger is set to switch to a defensive role after making a statement in their last pre-season friendly game

Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has hinted that Moussa Djenepo could play at the left-back position for the 2021-22 season.

Djenepo, who predominantly features as a winger, has proved his versatility in the Saints’ pre-season with impressive defensive performances in their friendly games.

Against Cardiff City on Tuesday, the 23-year-old was drafted into the defence and he still managed to score a goal in their 4-0 win in Wales.
