Southampton had an initial offer for striker Adam Armstrong rejected by Blackburn and now have submitted a new offer for the player on Wednesday.

According to a new report from the Daily Mail, Southampton have offered players in addition to cash for the striker and submitted a bid on Wednesday.

It is rumored players like Michael Obafemi would be offered in addition to the cash to try and lure Blackburn into selling their star man.

I think Southampton really need to push for Armstrong. he has proven himself as a goalscorer and that is what Southampton need. They do not have a consistent goal scorer outside of Danny Ings and if they sell Ings they will be hurting for goals.

The new bid is a reported £10m with players. That matches the initial offer but this time they have added on a few players to try and sweeten the deal. I am not sure who else would be included in the deal outside of Obafemi. It could be a few of the other younger players or potentially Sam McQueen.

Next. All the clubs Southampton’s Danny Ings has been linked with so far. dark

The new season is just around the corner and Southampton need to sell a few more players and purchase a couple more. They are not where they want to be yet and will absolutely need to buy new players to round out the squad.

I am hoping they complete the deal for Brandon WIlliams soon and can follow that up with Armstrong shortly after. I am excited for the season to get started and see how Hasenhuttl can improve over the last season!
