Southampton are ‘willing to listen’ to offers for Scotland forward Che Adams, according to talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook. The Sun claimed on Monday that Leeds United are lining up a move for the Scotland international, who is expected to fall further down the pecking order at St Mary’s following Sekou Mara’s arrival from Bordeaux.
The report adds that the Whites would be open to doing business at around £10m, although it is claimed that Southampton are looking for more. Nevertheless, there is optimism that a compromise figure can be reached as Jesse Marsch looks to add quality and competition for Patrick Bamford and Joe Gelhardt in the number nine role.
Bamford shone in United’s 6-2 victory over Cagliari on Sunday evening, scoring twice for the Whites as they closed pre-season in style. However, Bamford missed the majority of last term due to injury and amassed just 10 appearances for the Whites. Gelhardt has also penned a new long-term deal at Elland Road but an extra addition at centre-forward is still needed.
