Birmingham City’s 14-goal Championship striker Che Adams has been linked with Premier League duo Burnley and Southampton.
Che Adams would be happy to leave Birmingham City for either Burnley or Southampton before the January transfer deadline, according to The Mirror.
The 22-year-old has had a fantastic season under Garry Monk at St Andrews’, completing his transformation from a sprightly winger into a ruthless centre-forward. With 14 goals to his name in the Championship, Adams has comfortably surpassed his previous season’s best already.
As a result, a whole host of Premier League teams have identified Adams as a target with Burnley and Southampton emerging as the most likely candidates in recent days.
It is understood that The Saints have already seen an offer of £8 million rejected but they, along with Burnley, are hoping to tempt Adams with a substantial pay rise that would see his wages doubled to around £35,000-a-week.
And, in a boost to both Sean Dyche and Ralph Hassenhuttl, The Mirror suggests that the former Sheffield United forward would jump at the chance to move to either Turf Moor or St Mary’s.
Birmingham will not let their top scorer go on the cheap, however, and are demanding a hefty £15 million.
