EXCLUSIVE: Burnley looking to repeat Nathan Tella masterstroke as Vincent Kompany line up move to sign Top Class- Premier League proven striker in January on a bargain deal, Player open to move

Looking ahead to January, Kompany has now reportedly identified someone who could add some firepower up the other end of the pitch as he bids to save Burnley’s top-flight status.

According to TEAMtalk, Burnley are lining up a cut-price move for Southampton forward Che Adams, who could be available on the cheap as he is out of contract on the South Coast in the summer of 2024. The Saints are reluctant to lose the Scotland international in January, though are aware that he could leave at the end of the campaign for free.

Adams himself is open to the idea of returning to the Premier League and is high on the wanted list at Turf Moor, with Kompany acknowledging that bringing in the striker could be season-changing as the Clarets battle relegation. The former Manchester City defender is drawn to the 27-year-old’s previous top-flight experience and would be enticed by the fact he is available for a modest fee.

Labelled “amazing” for his selfless mentality by boss Russell Martin, Adams has featured 19 times for Southampton this campaign across all competitions, registering four goals and two assists (Adams statistics – Transfermarkt).

Burnley could do with some extra options in the final third and Adams is a hard-working capable forward who could help to stretch defences with his pace and eye for the target.
