Adam Armstrong: Southampton sign striker from Blackburn on four-year deal

Southampton have signed striker Adam Armstrong from Blackburn on a four-year deal.

Armstrong, 24, was second in the Championship scoring charts last season with 28 goals in 40 appearances.

He is the second striker to sign for the Saints on Tuesday after Armando Broja, 19, joined on loan from Chelsea.

"Adam was a big target for us this summer, so we are very pleased to have added him to the squad," said boss Ralph Hasenhuttl.

"He is at a good stage of his career for him to be coming here. He is a young, dynamic player who has developed well so far and already has good experience, as well as an impressive goalscoring record, and I believe we can now help him realise even more of his potential.
