# Southampton: Fans react to Adam Armstrong news

**Southampton fans have been reacting to the news that they are leading the race to sign Adam Armstrong from Blackburn Rovers this summer.**

The Saints are preparing for the upcoming 2021/22 season after what was a mixed previous campaign – they finished 15th in the Premier League table but did also reach an F.A Cup semi-final. As they look to improve, they are likely to be looking to bring in new players, and it seems they may be targetting a new striker.

Last term, he enjoyed a fantastic campaign, scoring 29 goals in all competitions ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adam-armstrong/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/250426)), and this latest report has suggested he will be moving to a club in the Premier League during this transfer window.
