EXCLUSIVE: Wolves to make move to sign Top Class PL proven star in January as club reignite interest in player with Gary O’Neil looking to solve striker problem following Fabio Silva exit and Hwang Hee Chan impending AFC departure
Wolves are set to make a move once again for Southampton striker Che Adams in the January transfer window according to reports.
Adams’ contract is set to expire in 2024, creating uncertainty about his future with Southampton.
The Premier League side showed an interest in signing the 27-year-old during the summer transfer window, but a deal failed to materialise.
The Saints blocked a deadline day loan move with a potential £15 million option to make the deal permanent. Bournemouth also expressed an interest in the Scotland international, but he remained at St. Mary’s beyond the deadline.
With the player’s contract set to expire in 2024, speculation persists over his future with the Championship side. Adams has made 18 league appearances for Southampton so far this season, starting just nine times.
The forward signed for the club in the summer of 2019, but could depart the south coast side for nothing in 2024 unless a deal is agreed in January or a new contract is agreed.
Southampton are currently third in the Championship table, as they aim to fight for a top two spot. The Saints have options up front, so should look to cash in on the player in the winter if a reasonable offer arrives.
Wolves on the other hand are in need of a new striker with the club having seen Fabio Silva complete a loan move to Rangers where he will spend the remainder of the season. The club are also set to lose top scorer Hwang Hee Chan between the month of January-February as he will be representing South Korea at the AFC Asian cup.
Gary O’Neil have managed to steady the ship at Wolves following back to back wins against Chelsea and Brentford with his side currently sat at 11th position on the table. He would want his team to continue their rich vein of form heading into the second half of the Premier League season as the Midlands look to book a spot on the top of the log.
