# Southampton: Fans react to Adam Armstrong transfer news

**Many Southampton fans have been reacting to the news that Adam Armstrong is set to complete a move to St Mary’s.**

Last season, the Saints went through a mixed campaign as they finished 15th in the Premier League table but also reached an FA Cup semi-final. As such, there is likely to be plenty of business conducted by Ralph Hasenhuttl and co during this current transfer window – they have already confirmed the capture of Romain Perraud from French club Brest ([southamptonfc.com](https://www.southamptonfc.com/news/2021-07-02/announcement-romain-perraud-southampton-football-club-2-july-2021)).

With Danny Ings continuing to be linked with an exit ([via Daily Express](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1446273/Man-Utd-transfer-news-Southampton-Danny-Ings)), the Saints may need a new striker. According to [The Sunday Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/?_ga=2.18367545.1209996042.1625413197-1194075882.1560761803) (via [Hampshire Live](https://www.hampshirelive.news/sport/football/transfer-news/adam-armstrong-southampton-blackburn-stance-5608886)), that man could be 24-year-old Armstrong – the Blackburn Rovers marksman is set to move to the south coast, with the deal likely to cost the Saints £10m plus add-ons.

He enjoyed a superb 2020/21 campaign, netting 28 times in 40 Championship appearances ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adam-armstrong/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/250426)). That was more than double the tally of Southampton’s top scorer from the season ([Ings with 13](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/southampton-fc/leistungsdaten/verein/180/plus/0?reldata=%262020)).
