Adam Armstrong will be made available to loan by Southampton this summer, according to reports. Just one year after sealing a £15million move, the Newcastle United academy product is heading for the St Mary’s exit after an underwhelming debut campaign.
The Magpies were linked with a move for Armstrong last summer after his goalscoring heroics in the Championship. In 2020-21, the Chapel House native - who won the U20 World Cup with England in 2017 - bagged 28 goals for Rovers despite Tony Mowbray's side finishing mid-table.
A staggering 40% sell-on clause inserted into the forward's contract by Toon chiefs after his exit in 2018 gave Newcastle priority to buy the Geordie back. However, Armstrong signed for Southampton and has failed to replicate his form in the Premier League - bagging just twice last season.
