Che Adams remained with Southampton despite a large number of players leaving the team after their relegation from the Premier League to the Championship.
This was true despite the fact that, prior to the market’s closure, there was a good deal of rumor associating the striker with a transfer away from St Mary’s.
At one time, it was claimed that Wolves had made a last-minute loan approach for Adams, and Everton was certain to sign the Scotland international.
Ultimately, though, no agreement would be reached, and the striker would stay at Southampton for at least the first half of this season.
However, considering that Adams hasn’t agreed to a new contract with the Saints and that his current one is slated to expire in the summer of 2019, that interest might resurface when the window reopens in January.
What may clubs expect to pay to capture the 27-year-old’s services at the beginning of the year?
As we consider Adams’ current value, we’ve looked at how his Expected Transfer Value (xTV) has changed.
An Expected Transfer Value (xTV) is what?
xTV, an artificial intelligence (AI) program run by SciSports and reported by FootballTransfers.com, determines a player’s financial value to a certain team.
Using a variety of variables like the player’s age, position, form, experience, level of league they are playing at, and their contract situation at their present club, it applies trends discovered from 600,000 historical transfers to current players.
From there, it is applied to determine a possible transfer value for thousands of players worldwide, which is updated monthly.
How has Che Adams’ worth evolved throughout the course of his career?
The striker started his professional career with Sheffield United in 2014, when they were a League One team. In 55 appearances for the Blades across all competitions, he scored 15 goals.
Then, in the summer of 2016, he joined Birmingham for a rumored cost of over £2 million, completing his transition to the Championship.
Adams’ xTV was between €1 million and €1.6 million at the time, and it increased during the course of his three years at St Andrew’s.
Adams’ xTV was valued at €9.7 million in July 2019 after he scored 22 goals in 46 league games for the Blues in the 2018–19 season.
