Southampton FC may regret rejecting Everton’s £12 million bid for striker Che Adams earlier on in the season, with the chances of receiving such a high fee for the player looking unlikely.
This was big money for a Championship player at the time, and a real statement of intent that the club viewed the 22-year-old as one of the future.
He has impressed to a degree during his time at St Marys, scoring 40 times in all competitions, whilst also starring at international level with Scotland.
Despite Southampton suffering relegation last year, he chipped in eight league goals in one of his most productive seasons since joining the club.
Everton reportedly wanted Adams in £12 million deal
Adams was a target for Everton during the summer transfer window, although a move to Merseyside failed to materialise.
The Scottish international was reportedly subject to a £12 million bid from the Toffees in August as they searched for a new striker in the summer, with Neil Maupay moving back to Brentford before the transfer deadline.
He netted ten times as the Saints finished in the bottom three in the Premier League, relegating them down to the Championship after an 11-year stay in the top flight.
While Southampton ultimately did not allow the player to leave the club in the summer, with Everton going for Udinese target man Beto instead, they may be regretting turning down such a hefty fee for the striker.
