Southampton have shared an impressive training-ground clip of Che Adams scoring a superb bicycle kick which prompted a thrilled reaction from some of the Saints teammates.

The St Mary’s players not on international duty are continuing to train this week with an eye on the trip to Premier League newcomers Sheffield United a week on Saturday.

On the training ground, Adams pounced on a miscued clearance and hit the ball overhead first time, finding the top corner of the net, much to the delight of his colleagues.

The Saints Twitter channel proudly showed the effort off, noting the reaction of the striker’s fellow players and urging him to “take a bow”:

A number of Southampton fans took the time to respond on the social media platform, hoping the 24-year-old can break his Saints duck in such a manner – and replicate the strike against Portsmouth at Fratton Park in a few weeks’ time:

Adams made the switch to the Saints from Championship side Birmingham City on a five-year-deal for a reported £15million fee after three years at St Andrew’s, where he scored 38 goals in 123 appearances (BBC Sport).

The striker, who has previously been compared to Ronaldo and Jermain Defoe (The Guardian), had a bright pre-season in which he claimed three goals and three assists in four friendlies.
