All of the latest news surrounding Che Adams with the January transfer window approaching.
There were sure to be a number of departures following Southampton’s Premier League relegation last season, with many people speculating that Che Adams would be among them.
Even though Everton and other teams were reportedly very close to completing the deal, the Scotland international chose to stay, according to reports.
His early-season form seemed to support Southampton’s belief that having someone who was a Premier League regular in the Championship was a significant advantage.
Despite being a proven attacking threat, he has struggled to get a start under Russell Martin after scoring in each of the first three league games.
The Daily Echo claims that despite his recent ups and downs with the team, the 27-year-old has received an offer from the organisation for a new contract.
The club has left Adams’ contract offer open, so he still has options regarding his future with the team even though it is the same one he was given in the summer.
With just six months remaining on his present contract, Southampton could lose him for nothing come summertime if they don’t decide to make a move in the January transfer window.
Premier League teams will be evaluating if they should take a chance on him in January, according to Dean Jones of GiveMeSport.
A number of teams were reportedly interested in signing Adams in the summer, including Everton, Wolves, and Bournemouth.
Because of his contract dispute, those clubs will be able to acquire Adams for less money if they continue to believe he would be a good addition. This could lead to increased interest.
According to this Express and Star story, Gary O’Neil’s Wolves appear to be the team most eager to sign him when they open up shop next month. He may only be a temporary solution for the team.
Southampton is considering a possible substitute.
Following their recent victories over Bristol City and Cardiff City, the Saints had to use midfielder Carlos Alcaraz in a false nine role. As a result, Russell Martin expressed interest in adding a new striker, and scouts from the team travelled to Austria to observe Maximillian Entrup.
Entrup, who is 26 years old, appears to be a great fit to replace Adams because he has been scoring a lot of goals for TSV Hartberg this season—eight in 11 games.
Even if Adams chooses to stay and finish out his contract, the fact that Southampton is lining up strikers to replace him suggests that his time at the team is running out.
It seems like next month would be the best time for him to leave if he does that and plays few minutes for the remainder of the campaign. If that is the case, he might not have as many options.
