Hughton hints at boosting squad

Norwich manager Chris Hughton may look to strengthen further before the transfer window closes, while Mauricio Pochettino admits Southampton could do with some reinforcements.

Less than four years ago the Canaries and Saints were both in the third tier and played one another in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy. Norwich edged past Southampton 1-0 on Saturday as they faced up in the Premier League – somewhere their combined £65m (€76m) summer spending shows they plan to stay.

“What we have is a very structured recruitment policy at the club that I would like to think has served us quite well in this pre-season,” said Hughton. “And through that if it is right to bring someone, then we will, but if we don’t then I am very happy with the squad that we have got.”
