Southampton may have one major Adam Armstrong regret after Blackburn deal: View
The striker has netted 20 times this season for the Saints, and must be ruing not being given more game time in the Premier League
Adam Armstrong has been one of the key protagonists for Southampton this season, as the Saints aim to return to the Premier League at the first time of asking.
The former Blackburn Rovers man has netted 20 times in 42 league games for the south coast side in the current campaign, leaving them four points off the automatic promotion places with four matches remaining.
A further 13 assists has seen the striker involved in close to 40% of his side’s goals this season, and underlines his pivotal role in Russell Martin’s plans in the final third.
After constantly finding the back of the net in each of his last three seasons in the Championship, it begs the question why he wasn’t used as much at St Mary’s in the Premier League after his big money move from Rovers in 2021.

After making a name for himself for the likes of Coventry City and Barnsley while on loan from Newcastle United, Armstrong eventually sealed a deal to move to Ewood Park in the summer of 2018, although it took him a while to start firing in the blue and white shirt.
When he did start finding the net, he couldn’t stop, with 16 goals in the 19/20 season followed by 28 the following campaign, leaving a number of clubs clamouring over his signature in the summer after.
