Leeds United are reportedly interested in Southampton striker Che Adams, according to reports. It's not the first time Adams has been linked with a move to the Whites, with the 26-year-old heavily linked with a switch to Elland Road in January 2020.
As Leeds continue their search for a new striker, The Sun's Alan Nixon has reported that the Whites would like to sign the player for around £10 million, which means the Saints would be making a loss on the Scotsman.
Southampton, who signed Adams for around £15 million in 2019, would like a bigger fee for the Scotland international, but there is 'optimism' that a deal can be agreed between the two clubs. The report also states that Ralph Hassenhuttl may be willing to let Adams go, because the Saints have recruited exciting forward Sekou Mara from Bordeaux.

However, there are mixed reports, with The Athletic saying that a move for Adams is currently not Leeds' priority.
Adams has scored 21 goals and grabbed 12 assists in 110 appearances on the south coast. He bagged seven top flight goals last season, and his most prolific campaign in the Premier League was in the 2020/21 season, scoring nine times.
Adams is the latest name to be linked with Leeds as they look to add a forward to their squad. A whole host of names have been linked, including PSG youngster Arnaud Kalimuendo and Chile international Ben Brereton Diaz.
