# Leeds United: Many fans annoyed at latest update on Che Adams transfer link

**Leeds United may be desperate to bring in a striker after they let Eddie Nketiah return to Arsenal, leaving Patrick Bamford as their only notable striker. Indeed, they’ve been pursuing Southampton’s Che Adams [all through this month, but the Saints have rejected their approaches](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51207871) and one journalist shed light on the situation on Thursday.**

In a tweet, Dan Sheldon, a reporter for[the Southern Daily Echo,](https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/)said Southampton are in a sense of ‘bemusement” at why Leeds are continuing to chase the 23-year-old striker when they’ve been “firmly told” it won’t happen. Since signing for the Saints in summer, Adams has made [just eight Premier League starts and hasn’t scored once](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/256419/Show/Che-Adams).

Still, his [22 Championship goals for Birmingham last season](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/256419/History/Che-Adams) will likely be why Leeds are so keen to bring him back to the division to provide competition for Bamford, who missed a penalty in the recent loss to QPR. However, when Whites fans heard that the club are still chasing what seems to be a lost cause, they replied to the tweet showing how disappointed they are in their own club’s hierarchy.

> [#SaintsFC](https://twitter.com/hashtag/SaintsFC?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)‘s position on Che Adams remains the same – there’s no interest in letting him go. There is a growing sense of bemusement behind the scenes as to why Leeds are continuing to pursue Adams when they’ve been firmly told it’s a deal that won’t happen.

> Why do I have the feeling that they’ll drag it on until deadline day and let him leave on the 31st but shut it down on the minute

> Because we want to waste the whole January window pursuing him then when deadline day comes and goes we can blame Southampton for not landing a new striker

> Another January window another keeper and another year we fail to land a potential target player. All adds up to one thing the club is failing again
