Some Southampton fans have made it clear that they wouldn’t mind seeing Adam Lallana join Leicester City in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Sky Sports recently reported that the Foxes have made an initial approach to sign the England midfielder.
Should Southampton challenge Leicester for Lallana?
No point in doing that
Yes, will be a useful player
This news reached many Saints fans. Southampton News relayed it on Twitter and asked Saints fans about whether they will be happy to see Lallana join the Foxes in the summer. Fans made it clear that they will not mind the move and don’t want him back at St. Mary’s.

Liverpool signed Lallana in the summer of 2014 for a fee of £25 million. Since then, Lallana has made 175 appearances in all competitions for the Anfield-based side and has picked up a tally of 22 goals and just as many assists for them.
Since joining though, the Englishman has missed 67 games due to injuries. His current deal at Anfield runs out in the summer, even though Liverpool do have the option to extend the deal by another season.
What do we think?
Lallana’s injury record over the last few years isn’t too promising and for someone who is 31 and not getting any younger, a move will not mean too much for Southampton. He knows the club from his previous stint but there are surely better, younger options in the market than Lallana.
