Championship striker targeted as replacement for Danny Ings
Newcastle due cut of fee for player who got 29 goals last season

Southampton are hopeful of signing the Blackburn striker Adam Armstrong after the Championship club accepted a deal worth up to £15m. Saints targeted the 24-year-old, who scored 29 goals last season, as a replacement for Danny Ings, who joined Aston Villa last week.

Armstrong, who has less than 12 months remaining on his contract, has also attracted interest from Crystal Palace and Norwich. Blackburn had been holding out for closer to £20m but Saints have made a breakthrough with their latest bid. They expect to agree personal terms and have scheduled a medical for Tuesday morning.
