Reported January target Che Adams shows Southampton what they are missing as Danny Ings limps off injured

Southampton endured a frustrating Saturday afternoon against Burnley, while reported Janua𒈔ry target Che Adams added to his burgeoning re♏putation.

In the Premier League on Saturday, Southampton were denied a win by a late Ashley𝓀 Barnes penalty.

Burnley scored in the 94th minute which cost Southampton two points. The🃏 Saints could have moved four po🍎ints clear of the drop zone if they held on for the win.

🌠Meanwhile, in the Championship, Birmingham City moved to within four points of the play-off zone with a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest.

And Adams got o🌊n the score sheet, securing the three points wi♔th a 93rd minute penalty to cap another good performance.

It was the 22-yea🐓r-old striker’s 16th goal in 30 Championship matches. Southampton made an approach for Adams in 🐻January () but the move failed to materialise.

Bu🅘t Aཧdams continued to show why Premier League clubs were interested in him as he moved to fifth in the Championship top scorer charts.

And an injury to Danny Ings made the afternoon even more frustrating for Ralph Hasenhuttl’s Southampton side, who are now without their top ꦯstriker.

Given Ings’ injury rec♑ord, Adams should have been a priority for Southampton at the end of January. But now, they will have to hope they c♌an snap him up next summer instead.
