Calum Chambers: 'Mauricio Pochettino believes in young players'

Calum Chambers has said that Mauricio Pochettino believes in Southampton's young players.

Several academy graduates regularly appear in the club's first team, including Chambers, Luke Shaw and James Ward-Prowse.

"The academy has got such good coaching and grounding, anyone coming through it is brought up the Southampton way," Sky Sports News quotes the 18-year-old right-back as saying.

"Against Manchester City, we had three people I've been with at the club since I was seven years old, on the pitch with me at the same time.

"The manager believes in the young players and thankfully for us, they are giving us opportunities. I think we're good enough to do it, and if we can play the way we can, there's nothing stopping us."

Saints host Tottenham Hotspur tomorrow lunchtime.
