January transfer rumors about Southampton forward Che Adams could surface; Everton and Crystal Palace were previously connected.
Adams has received a new contract offer, but he has not accepted it, leaving the Saints to consider selling him or forfeiting him for nothing.
Ross Stewart, the new addition, has the ability to push Adams down the ladder because of his previous struggles in front of goal and limited playing time.
Adams remained at St Mary’s this summer following the Saints’ relegation from the Premier League, despite being linked with a number of Premier League clubs.
Everton were reportedly in talks with Southampton over a potential £12 million deal for Adams, but they cooled their interest after they signed Beto from Udinese, while Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers were also said to be keen.
Adams is in the last year of his contract at Southampton, and according to the Daily Echo, the Saints have offered the 27-year-old a new three-year deal, which includes vice-captaincy, but he is yet to put pen-to-paper on an extension.
Unless Adams commits his future to the club, the Saints will be facing a big decision on whether to cash in on the Scotland international in the January transfer window or risk losing him for free in the summer.
