Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl is confident Adam Armstrong will again start scoring.

The 24-year-old marked his Saints debut with a goal in the opening weekend defeat at Everton but has fired blanks in the four games since, with his new club still searching a first league win of the campaign ahead of Sunday's clash with Wolves.

“We think he fits perfect in our shape, how we want to play football, and I'm very happy to have him here," said Hasenhuttl.

“He's a good lad, he's very working hard, against the ball he has a lot of runs – negative runs, if you want, in the last game against Man City for us – and this is, for me, for a striker a very important part.

“And it's normal if you have to work so much against the ball that you are sometimes lacking of the few inches of the right position when you want to score.

“He has to adapt to the high intensity of the games then he will also make his goals in the Premier League, I'm sure.

“It's a different level but he has shown that he has some skills that are definitely very, very helpful for our team."
