Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhüttl has included two Nigerian players in a 26-man squad for a training camp in Austria.

Brand new signing Joe Aribo and former Arsenal schoolboy Nathan Tella have been named in the traveling party.

The Saints will be based in lakeside resort of Velden am Wörthersee until Wednesday, July 20.

As part of their preparations for the new season, Southampton have lined up friendlies against RB Leipzig at Lavanttal-Arena on July 16 and two days later they meet with SK Austria Klagenfurt at Wörthersee Stadion.

Watford (July 23) , Monaco (July 27) and Villarreal (July 30) will be their opponents on their return from the training camp.

Aribo was announced as a new player of Southampton on Saturday, with the midfielder ending a three-year association with Rangers by putting pen to paper on a deal until June 30, 2026.

The 25-year-old was in the Rangers team that beat RB Leipzig on aggregate to qualify for last season's Europa League showpiece.

Southampton B stars Zuriel Otseh-Taiwo and Kazeem Olaigbe did not receive call-ups for the training camp in Austria.
