The 2026 World Cup has been a captivating watch so far.
Of course, England fans will be disappointed by the fact that Thomas Tuchel's Three Lions could only muster up a drab 0-0 draw against Ghana in their second group stage match, but they did put Croatia to the sword 4-2 in their opening match.
Scotland's opening contest wasn't as cut and dry, as they had to work hard to pick up a 1-0 victory over Haiti, but they should be in the knockout stages alongside England, meaning ex-Southampton star Che Adams' World Cup journey continues.
He hasn't scored yet, at the time of writing, as he has one eye, too, on what his future holds in the beautiful game, post the relentless tournament.
Adams' future after the World Cup
He was in the thick of the action for John McGinn's decisive winner against Haiti, though, as the adopted Scotsman has started both of Scotland's World Cup contests to date.
Entering the famed competition off the back of an eight-goal season in Italy with Torino, the 29-year-old is enjoying his playing days at the moment.
Yet, reports seem to indicate, despite his goalscoring prowess being on full display in Turin, that the ex-Saints striker could be on the move this summer.
Italian outlet TuttoMercatoWeb has indicated that Wolverhampton Wanderers are keen on landing Adams, and he is taken by the idea of returning to English shores, despite Venezia also throwing their hat into the ring for the attacker's signature.
Could Southampton be tempted whatsoever by securing a reunion deal for Adams?
After all, they do need some additional reinforcements up top, with Ross Stewart no longer on their books, and he does boast 49 goals in the Championship previously, most of which fell into his lap on the South Coast.
Wolves could pick up a big signing in their bid to instantly return to the Premier League, with the Old Gold a possible promotion rival for Southampton to keep tabs on.
He could play for one of Southampton's promotion rivals
Adams has prior links to the Midlands, so a summer move to the Black Country will be very tempting, with 38 goals coming his way when he was on the books of Birmingham, during the early stages of his well-travelled career.
Wolves would be hopeful that landing the Torino number 19 means they'd instantly have a Championship-ready striker on their books to complement their other attackers.
He would bounce off of Adam Armstrong very nicely, with the duo key when Southampton soared to the Premier League at the close of the 2023/24 season under Russell Martin.
Saints fans would be able to just about cope with the fact that Armstrong was sticking the dagger in, as he bids for promotion at the expense of his ex-employers, but throwing Adams into the mix, as well, feels especially cruel.
For the time being, the Tartan Army centre-forward's sole focus will be on helping Scotland to punch above their weight at the World Cup.
But, he will be aware of all this speculation, as he goes about adding another Championship promotion to his CV, if Molineux becomes his next home.
