Wolves have now been named as one of the three Premier League clubs trying to sign Che Adams from Southampton.
It was reported yesterday by Sky Sports News that three unnamed top-flight clubs were showing interest in Adams.
The 27-year-old only has one year remaining on his contract at St. Mary’s Stadium, and this is the final chance for Southampton to get some money for him before he leaves for nothing.
Adams had said recently that his focus for this season was on Southampton, but the club may well look to sell given the situation.
Now, Wolves are showing interest in the player once again…
Wolves ready to make fresh move for Che Adams, but have competition from two other PL clubs
It has been reported this morning by Sky’s Dharmesh Sheth that Wolves are indeed one of the three Premier League clubs looking to sign Adams this month.
He wrote on X: “Wolves 1 of 3 Premier League clubs interested in Southampton striker Che Adams. Adams into final six months of his contract. Wolves came close to signing Adams in the last transfer window. PSG’s Hugo Ekitike & West Ham’s Danny Ings also being looked at.”
The identity of the other two clubs remains a mystery for now.
Wolves, of course, attempted to sign Adams on transfer deadline day last summer, but the proposed move was blocked by Southampton at the eleventh hour.
Seemingly, Wanderers have been keeping tabs on him ever since, and could now swoop with Gary O’Neil determined to land a new centre-forward.
Sasa Kalajdzic and Fabio Silva have both gone out on loan and that really increases the need for a number nine. As little as they were both playing, an injury to either Matheus Cunha or Hwang Hee-chan would leave Wolves in a bit of trouble, so someone needs to come in.
Adams feels like the most likely incoming for Wolves
We’ve had mentions of Rafiu Durosinmi, Boulaye Dia, Danny Ings, Hugo Ekitike, and Chris Bedia so far this month, but Adams feels like the most likely new addition for Wolves.
Purely because he was someone the club really tried to land in the last window.
He’s a player who will not break the bank because of his contract situation, and that is going to appeal to Wolves considering the club are still mindful of Profit and Sustainability rules.
Ultimately, Adams – who Southampton signed for £15 million in 2019 – has Premier League experience and we have seen what Gary O’Neil has done so far at Molineux – if the manager wants him, then his judgment should be trusted.
