Southampton Could Lose £12 Million Star To Premier League Side

According to speculations, star forward Che Adams of promotion-hopeful

Southampton could leave for a struggling Premier League team when the January transfer window opens in two weeks.

 

The Saints suffered a great deal in the fight for automatic promotion due to a dismal four-game losing streak near the

beginning of the season, but Russell Martin’s club is the best in the

Championship, having not dropped a game since September 23.

Although having a worse goal differential than Leeds United,

Southampton has now gone 14 games without a loss in the league and is tied

for third position with Leeds United. In addition, the South Coast team is 10

points behind Ipswich Town in second place, occupying the fourth spot.

 

Furthermore, this season, only Norwich City, Leicester City, and Ipswich have

scored more goals than the Saints. With 12 goals and six assists in 22 games this

season, Southampton’s outstanding forward Adam Armstrong is tied for

second place in the Championship goalscoring standings. However, no

player has contributed more goals than Armstrong.

In the forward line, the former Blackburn Rovers striker and Che Adams have formed a strong relationship.

Having combined for 65% of Southampton’s goals this season, The

Real EFL reported that the pair were among the most productive in the EFL.

 

But this fruitful collaboration might end this winter. Burnley, a Premier League

struggling team, is eager to bring Adams to Turf Moor in an effort to prevent

being demoted at the first opportunity, according to TeamTalk.

 

For the Clarets throughout all competitions, no player has scored more

than three goals; Adams has scored four goals overall.

 

At season’s end, the Scotland international’s contract expires, and

Southampton might be obliged to must agree to a reduced fee for his services or

risk losing him for nothing come summertime.

During the recent transfer window, Everton submitted a £12 million offer for the forward but no deal ever came to

fruition. Nevertheless, Southampton may be inclined to accept a bid over the

coming weeks to avoid losing him for nothing at the end of his contract.

Adams has contributed to Southampton’s success thus far, even though Armstrong

has been the team’s main player under Martin. Allowing him to go to Burnley

might make it more difficult for the team to get promoted back to the top division.
