Southampton boss Ralph Hassenhuttl has questioned why he would let Che Adams leave this summer after his fine goalscoring start to the new season. Everton have been linked with making a move for the striker.
Adams scored twice on Tuesday as the Saints secured their safe passage through to the third round of the Carabao Cup with a 3-0 win at League One side Cambridge United. He did the same on Saturday as he stepped off the bench to earn Hassenhuttl's side a 2-1 triumph at Leicester City.
Nottingham Forest and Leeds United are also rumoured to be interested in signing the Scotland international. But when asked after the win over Cambridge if he wanted Adams to stay at St Mary's this season, Hasenhuttl's simple response was: "He’s our player. He was last season the second best goalscorer in our team, why should we let him go?
