Southampton already seeing benefits of holding off Sheffield United in January
Southampton kept hold of striker Sekou Mara in January despite interest from elsewhere.
It has been an outstanding few months for Southampton in the Championship.
It was a tough start to the season for the Saints after their relegation from the Premier League, but after suffering four consecutive defeats in September, they have improved significantly.
Southampton extended their unbeaten run to 25 games in all competitions with a 5-3 win over Huddersfield Town in a dramatic encounter at St Mary’s on Saturday.

Russell Martin’s side remain second in the table, one point clear of third-placed Leeds United and four points clear of fourth-placed Ipswich Town.
Mara came on for Adam Armstrong in the 79th minute, and it was an impressive cameo from the striker as he contributed with a goal and an assist to help his side turn the game around.
