Russell Martin labels promising midfielder as a special talent...

Russell Martin considers new recruit Mateus Fernandes to be an exceptional talent, in addition to Dibling.

Fernandes’s role in Southampton’s midfield has expanded over the past several games.

With just one point after the first five matchdays, Southampton is presently ranked eighteenth in the league table, reflecting their poor

start to life back in the Premier League. Russell Martin’s team has made a few errors in both attack and defense, which has prevented

them from gaining a few more points in their first games, even though they were a dependable and well-balanced side for the majority

of the game. But Southampton has been getting better lately, and their positive showings have given them a big lift as they strive for

The rise of young players with great potential who have shown it while playing for the first team is one of the main causes of the

squad’s recent outstanding performances. Mateus Fernandes, a recent addition, has emerged as one of the key players in

Southampton’s midfield. The 20-year-old sensation is quick and adaptable, enabling him to play as a box-to-box midfielder or as a

creative creator.

Fernandes put on a fantastic all-around performance in the team’s recent 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town, which allowed the Saints to

have more ball control and penetrate deeper into the final third of the pitch to create more scoring opportunities. The talented

midfielder has now received plaudits from boss Russell Martin before of the Bournemouth game, with Martin adding,

“He is a very good player. Mateus and Tyler Dibling, among a few others, are two athletes who can play anywhere they choose.

Mateus has to familiarize himself with Premier League news. His winning mentality and intensity are equal to every bit of his skill,

cunning, and inventiveness.”

Martin went on to draw comparisons between Fernandes’ increasing role in the starting lineup and that of 18-year-old forward Tyler

Dibling, both of whom have shocked many Premier League observers and supporters with how quickly they have adapted to the

league. Furthermore, with the goal of securing their first three points of the season against Bournemouth in the upcoming league

matchday, these two bright prospects will anticipate playing a significant role once more for the Saints.
