With the transfer deadline looming, Leeds United are reportedly interested in signing Southampton striker Adam Armstrong. This potential move comes as competition heats up in the Championship, with Middlesbrough also vying for the 27-year-old's signature.
Leeds United's pursuit of reinforcements for Daniel Farke's promotion bid intensifies as the transfer deadline approaches. The club has been linked with a move for Southampton striker Adam Armstrong , who could depart St. Mary's before the window shuts this evening. This marks the second Saints forward linked with a switch to Elland Road this month, following speculation surrounding fellow striker Cameron Archer earlier in the transfer period.
The destination of these potential strikers, if either move forward, remains uncertain, with Championship contenders Middlesbrough also expressing interest in Armstrong in recent hours.The Daily Mail reports that both Leeds and their rivals, Middlesbrough, have shown interest in the 27-year-old striker, whose goal contributed to Southampton's promotion triumph at Wembley last season. Armstrong has managed two goals and two assists in 20 Premier League appearances for a struggling Saints side, highlighting the need for Leeds to bolster their attacking options.The Northern Echo claims that Middlesbrough's pursuit of Armstrong has been hampered by financial constraints, with Southampton demanding a loan fee and the striker's wages to be covered by the Teessiders. Michael Carrick's side reportedly declined to meet these terms, paving the way for Kelechi Iheanacho's arrival at the Riverside Stadium before the deadline. The impending signing of Iheanacho will bring Boro's number of loan players to five – the maximum permitted in a Championship matchday squad – potentially creating an opportunity for Leeds United to capitalize. The Whites are well acquainted with Armstrong, having faced him in the Championship play-off final clash at Wembley during the summer, where he scored the decisive goal for Southampton. Armstrong subsequently signed a three-year contract extension following that victory, but it appears he could now secure a move away from St. Mary's before the transfer window closes
