The Saints manager has been speaking in his pre match press conference ahead of Saturday's game against Leeds United and he has reiterated CEO Martin Semmens comments at the fans forum that Che Adams will not be leaving.
Ralph Hasenhuttl today gave a straight answer to a straight question when asked in his pre match press conference whether Che Adams would be departing the club this transfer window and gave a emphatic NO.
This echoes the comments made by Saints CEO Martin Semmens at Wednesday evening's Fans Forum when he said:
"90 per cent of what you see in the media is not true. The fact that Everton are trying to take our striker on loan - it’s not real, it won’t happen, don’t worry about that.
However Hasenhuttl did also confirm that every player has a price and that will possibly lead some to believe that Adams leaving is still on the cards.
But what it did perhaps suggest is that Adams price isn't the £10-15 million that several clubs including Nottingham Forest, Leeds United & even Everton are said to be offering, so perhaps the interest in Che Adams is real, but the money on the table being offered isnt.
