Southampton Lining Up Bid For Aberdeen Striker
Saints are making plans should they need to replace Che Adams in the next few days and reports in Scotland suggest that one of their targets is Aberdeen striker Bojan Miovski, read on to find out more.
According to footballfancast.com
ne of the potential replacements for Che Adams should he leave the club before the end of this transfer window is Aberdeen's Macedonian striker Bojan Miovski.
The 24 year old joined the Dons from MTK Budapest last summer after two years in Hungary and last season he scored 16 goals for Aberdeen in the Scottish Premier League, he has also played 13 games for Macedonia.
The sources North of the border suggest that Saints are looking at offering a £4 million package to bring in the striker, who Russell Martin had been tracking when he was manager of Swansea City.
This will not excite Southampton supporters who will be looking for someone with a little bit more of a track record than Miovski would bring to the club.
Another that Martin is said to be following closer is Hearts striker who ironically was called into the Scotland squad back in March as a replacement for the injured Che Adams,
Having just turned 28 Shankland has extensive experience in the Scottish Premiership and also a season with Beerschot in Belgium.
Last season with Hearts saw him score 24 goals in just 37 games and that is a record that would excite Saints fans more than that of Miovski.
Shankland is being watched by a number of clubs and Southampton are said to be one of them.
The rumour mill is about to turn and the problem with this is that Saints are not quite in control of it, whether they sign a striker or not will depend entirely on whether an acceptable offer comes in for Che Adams.

Farke happy with the draw at Carrow RoadMost of the fans who watched last night’s visit to Norwich City would accept that a draw was a fair result after an even contest, and Daniel Farke was happy to take a point from a difficult away game against one of the better teams in the division.
Norwich AwaydazeWe visit Norwich City on Tuesday, and kick off is at 7.45pm. You’ll find Carrow Road less than a mile to the south-east of the city centre. It’s not the main game on Sky that night, but some of their packages will include the option to watch the game live.
Leeds cruise to comfortable win over CoventryLeeds totally dominated this game against a lacklustre Coventry City, and if anything should have won more comfortably. It now looks like the team is coming together, though there will be tougher tests in the weeks to come.
Leeds get back on track against woeful Cardiff After last week’s defeat, Daniel Farke must have been thankful that the fixture list gave us the division’s bottom team as our next opponents. But although we got the win we needed, it was against a desperately poor Cardiff City who had to play with ten men for over an hour, and somehow it felt strangely unconvincing.
Cardiff AwaydazeThis season’s visit to Cardiff City is on Saturday with a 3pm kick-off, and you’ll find their current stadium to the west of the city centre, only a quarter of a mile from their former home at Ninian Park.
Leeds suffer frustrating defeat at the hands of BurnleyOnce again Leeds dominated the possession but couldn’t find their way past a determined and well-organised defence. So it was Burnley who took the points after taking advantage of one of the few occasions when they were able to break downfield.
Leeds pay tribute to former captain Sol BambaSol Bamba passed away on Saturday at the tragically early age of 39. The tribute on the club’s official website was one of many, as the football world paid it’s respects to a defender who was highly regarded by everyone in the game who came into contact with him.
