(Reuters) - Southampton will prioritise the signing of a full back in the January transfer window as the struggling Premier League football club look to climb out of the relegation zone, manager Ralph Hasenhuettl said.

The Saints have conceded 36 goals in 17 league games - more than any other side - largely due to a 9-0 hammering at home by Leicester City in October, and sit 18th in the table.
