Southampton, newly promoted to the Premier League, is currently in discussions with Che Adams, the Scottish forward, regarding a new contract. Adams, 27, played a crucial role in helping the team secure their promotion by scoring 16 goals in the Championship. His current contract is set to expire at the end of June, and there have been rumors linking him to a possible move to Wolves. The club has confirmed that talks with Adams are ongoing about the potential of extending his stay with Southampton.
On the other hand, midfielder Stuart Armstrong is set to leave the club after six years of service. Despite being a key player in the team, Armstrong was unable to play in the play-off final due to injury. He will depart as a free agent, and the club has thanked him for his dedication and effort during his time at Southampton. Both Adams and Armstrong have been named in Scotland’s provisional squad for Euro 2024, showcasing their talent and potential at an international level.
In addition to these announcements, Southampton is also in talks with long-serving goalkeeper Alex McCarthy, 34, regarding a new contract. The club is looking to secure the services of McCarthy for the upcoming season as they prepare for their return to the Premier League. Southampton expressed their gratitude towards Armstrong and their commitment to retaining key players like McCarthy as they look to strengthen their squad for the challenges ahead.
