Wolves vs Southampton

Elsewhere, Hasenhuttl was quizzed on the possibility of making a permanent move for Armando Broja – currently on loan from Chelsea – and had this to say:
“We will find the right conversation with the player, agent, the club. What they want and what Chelsea wants.
“I think we should let the young lad develop his game, this is important for him to play games.” The boss continued: He likes it here, he enjoys it here, we have a young team and these are all reasons why he has developed his game and is getting better.
“In the end, we have to find the best decision for the boy, for the player, if it’s a win-win for everybody then we will find the right decision for the summer. As long as he is our player we will have much fun with him and try to make him better.”
