Leeds United are reportedly set to make their fourth offer for Southampton forward Che Adams this weekend.
According to Football Insider, Leeds have not given up hope of landing the striker and are ready to submit yet another bid.
The report claims that their third offer was a loan with an obligation to buy for £20m in the summer, which was rejected by the Saints.
READ SOUTHAMPTON VERDICT
Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has already made it clear that he does not want Adams to leave the club this month. The Austrian boss said that there is “no option” in regards to Adams joining Leeds, as he needs everyone in his squad for the second-half of the season.

If Hasenhuttl is adamant that he wants Adams to stay, Southampton need to turn down Leeds’ fourth offer – regardless of what it is. Southampton should stand their ground and make sure that they can show Hasenhuttl faith, despite Adams failing to score his first goal for the Saints.
Adams joined Southampton last summer, but has only managed one Premier League assist so far this season – in a 2-1 win over Leicester earlier this month. However, he is only 23 and has plenty of time to adapt to Hasenhuttl’s system and life in the Premier League.
