Birmingham City’s financial plight should encourage Everton and Southampton to launch Che Adams raid
Birmingham City’s outside hopes of competing for a play-off spot this season vanished when they were docked nine points by the EFL last week.
Garry Monk’s side have now gone from the verge of the play-offs to being in danger of a relegation scrap, although they have a reasonable gap above the drop zone.
But with Birmingham’s Premier League ambitions gone, they face a real battle to keep star striker Che Adams on their books for next season.
The 22-year-old is enjoying a stunning season in front of goal, racking up 21 league strikes in 38 matches. This ranks him among the top scorers in the division.
And it is no surprise to see Premier League clubs scouting him. , Everton and Southampton are among the teams interested in Adams.
The former Sheffield United forward could be set for a £15m summer move and Birmingham’s financial plight should encourage the Premier League teams.
Birmingham will be desperate to avoid punishment again after breaching Financial Fair Play rules and selling prize asset Adams would help their financial situation.
This should prompt Everton and Southampton into action; perhaps they could even drive his price down and earn themselves a bargain.
Adams is a raw, young talent who can operate anywhere in the attacking midfield line or as a striker. Everton and Southampton should be looking at him as the next big thing in English football.
