Southampton will make a second attempt to sign the Birmingham City striker, Che Adams, this summer – but face competition from Everton, Burnley and Norwich City, according to The Sun.

The newspaper claims Southampton and Burnley failed with respective £10-and-£12 million offers for Adams in the January transfer window – although, it fails to state whether or not the Clarets intend to return with a fresh bid of their own.

The Sun does, however, list Norwich as fans of Adams – who has scored 22 goals for Birmingham this season – ahead of their expected return to the Premier League, and adds that Everton are also showing an interest.

According to the newspaper, Birmingham are likely to demand a fee in excess of £15 million.

Southampton’s plans could yet change, however, in the unlikely event that they are relegated back to the Championship.

The Saints are currently five points clear of the top flight’s bottom three – and three behind Burnley – while Norwich have an eight-point advantage over third-placed Leeds United in the league below.
