Southampton ‘s chances of landing Birmingham’s Che Adams have been dealt a blow as Spurs have now been linked with the striker. Southampton were involved in a battle with Burnley to sign Adams in the January transfer window but the forward ended up remaining at St Andrew’s.
The Clarets were rated as the most likely side to snare the frontman last month and were reported to have seen four bids rejected.
Since the transfer window closed, Adams has revealed he was never close to leaving the West Midlands and stressed he is “happy at Birmingham and I think everyone knows that”, but there is still speculation he could depart in the summer.

Southampton are expected to reignite their interest if they manage to avoid relegation but they could face a fierce battle to sign the player as a number of new suitors have emerged.
Tottenham are believed to have sent scouts to watch the 22-year-old in action in recent weeks, while Burnley are likely to return with a fresh offer and Crystal Palace, Arsenal and Watford have also been credited with an interest.
