Leeds: Whites eyeing shock Che Adams move
Leeds United are eyeing a surprise move for Southampton forward Che Adams, according to The Sun.
The Lowdown: 2020 links
Just as they were in January 2020, the Whites are in pursuit of a new forward to provide competition for Patrick Bamford.
Adams, who was hailed as ‘fantastic’ by his manager Ralph Hasenhuttl, was wanted at Elland Road under Marcelo Bielsa two years ago after Eddie Nketiah returned to Arsenal.
As we know, a move failed to materialise, although it looks as if Leeds could now go back in for the Scotland international in what Alan Nixon has described as a ‘shock move’.
The Latest: Nixon’s update
Nixon shared a story within the last 24 hours for The Sun regarding Leeds and Adams.
He claimed that the Whites are lining up a move and would like to do business for £10m after Southampton bolstered their attacking ranks by bringing in Sekou Mara from Bordeaux.
The Verdict: Surprising
We thought the ship had sailed when it came to Leeds and Adams, but it looks as if he could eventually be heading to Yorkshire after all.
The 26-year-old is valued at £16.2m by Transfermarkt and is into the final two years of his Saints contract, so a £10m fee could be a shrewd piece of prospective business by Victor Orta.
Adams at Elland Road?
Yes, get him in!
No, look elsewhere!
He has scored 80 goals throughout his club and international career, 20 of which have come in the Premier League from 96 appearances.
Therefore, he could be just the type of forward that the Whites need as competition for Bamford and Joe Gelhardt for the upcoming season, so this could be one to watch closely.
