Former Southampton striker shows perfect solution to struggling Saints teammate | OneFootball

Former Southampton striker Che Adams is booming in Torino while his previous attack partner Adam Armstrong is struggling again. Has the Scottish ex-Saints star hinted Armstrong to seek a move abroad?

Remember those good days when Che Adams and Adam Armstrong used to lead Southampton's attack. Though it's been just over six months, it already feels like ages.

Well, it's partly because of the struggle the Saints have had recently, upfront. During the 2023/24 Championship campaign, Che Adams and Adam Armstrong made scoring look so comfortable that now the club's goal drought frustrates fans.

Majorly, a single move has hit Southampton hard. At the end of the season, Che Adams left the Saints for a free transfer. Back then, the club entrusted Armstrong, but he has failed to deliver big time.

On the other hand, Che Adams has been in red-hot form at Torino. Recently, the ex-Saints star scored a brace, registering an 8/10 match rating by Tuttosport.

The striking fortunes the two strikers have experienced have been quite harsh for the Saints. And, amidst Armstrong's terrible run, it might be time to decide on his future. Positively, the solution seems in plain sight.

So far, Adam Armstrong has had a single memorable stint in his 4 years at Southampton. And that coming in the Championship, feels no mere coincidence.

Maybe, Armstrong might not be the number 9 Southampton looks forward to in an ideal world. For a Premier League club with high aspirations, the Englishman doesn't look like a potential suitor anymore.

In such a scenario, Che Adams could work as a case study. As it seems, Armstrong needs a light-paced environment to thrive in than physical Premier League football.

Thus, a move to Italy or La Liga wouldn't be a bad choice. Especially, when prodigy stars like Tyler Dibling have arrived on the scene.
