Crystal Palace have made a £10m offer for Southampton’s Che Adams, and they will double the
wages of the striker if he joins.
Crystal Palace make move for Che Adams
Southampton knew they were going to lose many key players after relegation, and there has been constant
speculation surrounding many of the squad – including Adams.
The Scotland international has been linked with a return to the top-flight, with Everton and Wolves among those
thought to be monitoring the 27-year-old.
However, it’s Palace who are pushing hardest at the moment, with The Sun revealing they have made an offer for the
attacker, which would result in a big salary rise for the ex-Birmingham City man.
“Crystal Palace are set to make an opening £10million offer to Southampton for striker Che Adams.
“Roy Hodgson has assembled a young and exciting squad after rescuing the Eagles from relegation last season.
But, with Jean-Phillipe Mateta set for the exit, he wants to add an experienced front man to his squad. Adams fit the bill.
“And he is keen to return to the Premier League, where Palace would offer double his wages to around £60,000 a week. Saints will not sell unless they have signed a replacement first.”
Will Southampton sell Che Adams?
The update indicates the club wants a new striker signed before they sell Adams, and that makes sense, because
Russell Martin isn’t stacked with number nine options at the moment.
Even though Adams hasn’t started the two league games so far, he has come off the bench to score in both games, so
his quality at this level is clear to see. You would imagine if he was certain to stay, Martin would have him in the XI
and Adams would be a key player for their promotion push.
Therefore, it’s going to take a decent offer to prise him away, but with Adams’ contract expiring in 12 months time,
this is their last chance to get a proper fee for the player.
It seems highly unlikely that Adams will agree fresh terms at St. Mary’s Stadium, which means a departure seems
inevitable this summer, but it’s about getting the best fee possible for the Championship side.
