Adam Armstrong and Cameron Archer could be on their way out of Southampton before the end of the month, with the South Coast club apparently looking for a replacement striker.

Southampton’s season has been far from easy, with the Saints falling well short of preseason expectations thus far.

Will Still’s stint lasted only 16 games, with the former Reims and Lens manager winning only four of his games on the South Coast. He was replaced on an interim basis by Tonda Eckert, and then permanently after a good run of play.

However, Eckert’s new manager bounce has come to a halt, with no wins in seven following a fine run of form, and with only days left in the transfer window, the German manager has limited time to make final additions to his team, while critical player withdrawals are also possible.

Both Adam Armstrong and Cameron Archer might leave the club this month, according to Alex Crook of X. The Saints are hoping to add another striker to their ranks before the deadline, which could clear the way for either Armstrong or Archer to go.

Adam Armstrong and Cameron Archer may depart Southampton before the conclusion of the window, with a new striker attached.

Martin, a Southampton fan analyst for Football League World, has expressed his opinions on the Saints’ prospective interest in bringing in a new forward before the end of the transfer season, with both Adam Armstrong and Cameron Archer potentially on the move.

Martin responded, “Yeah, they’ll need to get someone in. I’d be astonished if Armstrong leaves without a suitable replacement.”He’s already scored 11, and if he had the service, he might easily double his total and regain some form. When he’s in the zone, he’s quite productive. But with time running out, I believe I heard yesterday that Boro was interested in Cameron Archer.”So, whether they go with Armstrong or Archer, a lot of Boro fans prefer Archer. If anyone had to leave, I believe he would be the favorite candidate among Saints fans. But we’ll see in the following days.

Southampton must sign a replacement if either Adam Armstrong or Cameron Archer leaves.

If one of Armstrong or Archer leaves within the next few days, Southampton must have a replacement lined up.

Armstrong has sparked attention from clubs like as Middlesbrough, who are thought to be interested in the 28-year-old this month, and Wrexham, according to Alan Nixon.

Archer has also sparked interest this summer, most recently with Scottish giants Rangers, with head coach Danny Rohl hoping to return to the Championship market to perhaps sign Archer north of the border before the transfer window shuts.

Ross Stewart and Kuryu Matsuki are the only other available possibilities up front, but with Stewart’s injury history and Matsuki’s inexperience in Saints colours, counting on either of them would be a risk.

Eckert has stated that he would like to keep Armstrong beyond this month, although it is unclear whether he will be able to do so.

What is certain is that Southampton cannot afford to lose either without a successor lined up, especially as the deadline approaches.
