Leeds United Trying To Get Che Adams On The Cheap !
According to reports from Yorkshire, Leeds United are said to be interested in taking Che Adams from Saints, but in stereotypical Yorkshire fashion they expect Saints to sell him to them on the cheap.
Che Adams joined Saints from Birmingham City for £15 million in the summer of 2019, his first season was difficult, but he ended it well and since then has had two solid seasons for Saints.
In that time although his value hasn't actually rocketed, it certainly hasn't dropped either, in fact given his success at international level it has risen slightly.
The news that Leeds are looking to sign him is not surprising, but the price they are hoping to get him at is laughable.
They are only willing to pay £10 million and with two years left on Adams contract Saints are in no desperation to sell.
Add to that the issue that aside from Adams Saints only have two other strikers on the books, both as of yet unproven at Premier league level, Adam Armstrong himself has been linked with a move out although it seems that Ralph Hasenhuttl still has faith that he can have a successful second season and score goals.
Sekou Mara has just joined and celebrated his 20th birthday yesterday with his first appearance in a Saints shirt in the friendly with Villarreal, however his 45 minute appearance was not an explosive one and although no one is judging him on this game only days after signing him, Ralph will surely be looking to add to the strikers roster not reduce it.
So I think Leeds United may well be looking to take Che Adams to Elland Road, however they won't be doing it for £10 million unless Ralph Hasenhuttl truly has a couple of attacking surprises up his sleeve in the transfer market.
Indeed with the current situation even a bid of double the current derisory £10 million offering, although more realistic would still be turned down.
