The Daily Mirror report that the 23-year-old Southampton attacker keen on joining Leeds United this month on a loan deal till the end of the season, with Marcelo Bielsa keen on adding an extra forward to his ranks this January following Eddie Nketiah’s return to Arsenal.
Does Che Adams need a loan move to regain his confidence?
Yes, he has to return to scoring ways
No, he has shown he is on the right path at Southampton
Ralph Hasenhuttl, though, seems adamant on Adams remaining with the south coast side this month despite the intense interest from Leeds, and some Southampton fans on social media were also keen on the former Birmingham City star remaining with the Premier League club.
Here’s what a few Southampton fans had to say on Twitter about the latest update on Adams…
He looked alright when he came on against Leicester and set up the winner. Give him time!

The guy literally assisted the winner at the PL’s second placed team on Sat.
What’s he going to Leeds for?

Hes got a lot of potential and once he sees the ball go in the back of the net we could have quite a player on our hands. We started him for 10 games for christ sake and hes barely had a look in since, surely that cant decide a young players fate?

He’s a young lad, he’s got loads of nerves, loads of talent. Stick with him and he’ll probably be the best thing since sliced bread when he scores his first.

Che May not be scoring but he’s working hard & got the assist for Dannys goal at Leicester. #SaintsFC

He probably needs the hull session to get used to the Premier league

Despite winning over the fans, Adams is yet to score a professional goal for Southampton this season as stats from Transfermarkt show.
