  “I like this feeling from the team, they are looking to the future and we’re trying to give them confidence.”
  
  Emphasising a duty of care to his squad and with the January transfer window having shut on Thursday night, Puel wants to assist his players' development without them departing midway through the campaign.
  
  “All the players here now can feel as though they are improving - and for that reason, they don’t want to move around a lot," he added.
