West Brom Striker On Southampton Radar
A new name has emerged to replace Che Adams in the Saints strike force, here we take a look at whether this one is a deal that will excite the fans or just another name bandied about in the media.
footballinsider247.com have thrown a new name into the hat for a move to St Mary's, but will West Bromwich Albion striker Brandon Thomas-Asante be the answer to our scoring problems for the coming season.
The 25 year old arrived at the Hawthorns in 2022 after notching 26 goals for Salford City in 107 appearances in League Two.
For the Baggies he has hit 18 goals in 72 appearances, being their top scorer in both of the seasons he has played.
But these are hardly stats that will impress or excite Saints supporters, given that both Che Adams & Adam Armstrong scored far more than his 11 goals in 39 appearances in the Championship last season.
Not to mention that his market value is only around £3 million, to be blunt Saints have better striking options at the club already, having never played in the Premier League it is hard to see what he can bring that we don't already have.
