‘Fantastic’ £15m forward could now be open to January move, after claims Leeds want to sign him – journalist
Journalist that Southampton striker Che Adams could now be open to a January move, after claims Leeds United want to sign him.
Jesse Marsch’s side are currently sitting just two points above the relegation zone after an underwhelming start to the new season.
Leeds have produced some brilliant performances, notably at Anfield and when they beat Chelsea 3-0 back in August, but they’ve been unable to produce these types of displays consistently.
Marsch will be desperate to add some fresh faces to his squad this month and has already snapped up Maximilian Wober to shore up his defence. And while Rodrigo has been a reliable source of goals this season, Leeds are in the market for attacking reinforcements.
reported at the end of December that Leeds are eyeing a possible swoop for the ‘fantastic’ Adams. And in the latest update on the Scotsman’s future, it seems he could be ready to leave the south coast.
Adams open to January move
“Sometimes players just need that new environment or a new lease of life,” .
“He hasn’t got that from his new manager and I think that might be one telling factor here.
“Southampton have changed managers and things haven’t turned around, it does make me wonder if he might be a bit more open to listening to offers if they do come in.”
Of course, Leeds are seemingly closing in on a deal to sign Hoffenheim forward Georginio Rutter so it remains unclear whether they will still be looking at Adams.
reports that Marsch’s side are close to wrapping up a £26.4 million deal for the French youngster.
Adams isn’t exactly renowned for being a prolific goal scorer but has often been a standout performer in a struggling Saints side.
It seems unlikely that Leeds will bring in another forward if they land Rutter, but that could change depending on any possible departures this month.
If Adams is available for anything less than the , he could become an attractive option for many Premier League sides.
