# Southampton: Fans buzz over Adam Armstrong signing

**Many Southampton fans have been left buzzing as the club confirmed the signing of Adam Armstrong on their official [Twitter](https://twitter.com/SouthamptonFC/status/1425132300531126272) page.**

As per their [website](https://www.southamptonfc.com/news/2021-08-10/announcement-adam-armstrong-transfer-southampton-blackburn-rovers), the St. Mary’s faithful have signed the striker from Blackburn Rovers on a four-year deal, with Ralph Hasenhuttl lauding him as a ‘dynamic’ player who will bring ‘a lot of qualities’ to the side.

With Danny Ings moving on to Aston Villa on a permanent deal earlier on in the summer transfer window, the Saints desperately needed to bring in a replacement, and Armstrong has all of the qualities to thrive in the Premier League.

The Englishman scored no fewer than 29 goals and made a further five assists in 43 games in total over all competitions across the 2020/21 season ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adam-armstrong/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/250426/plus/0?saison=2020&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)), and so is more than capable of replacing the goals that Ings guaranteed when he was at the club.
