Southampton manager Ivan Juric has hinted that Cameron Archer was 'fighting to go' in the winter transfer window with Leeds United a key admirer
The silence has been broken around Cameron Archer's transfer to Leeds as Southampton manager Ivan Juric reveals how the striker responded to the lack of a move.
They first tried in 2023, but were beaten by now-promotion rivals Sheffield United. Then, on his return back to Aston Villa, he was quickly swept up by Premier League side Southampton. He told the Daily Echo: “Cam is top, he’s working hard. He was a big professional the last week whether he was fighting to stay or go.
Archer wasn't all who Leeds were interested in from Southampton. Adam Armstrong was also a contender for a move to Elland Road with Farke being an outspoken fan of the forward. The German manager had labelled Armstrong as 'clinical' and 'the difference' between Leeds and Southampton when the two teams faced each other in the Championship playoff final last year.
