Southampton join Monaco interest in RB Salzburg starlet Chukwubuike Adamu | OneFootball

Red Bull Salzburg starlet Chukwubuike Adamu is on the radar of Southampton.

The Daily Mail says Adamu is rated as one of Europe's most promising emerging forwards and attracting mounting interest.

French side Monaco and a number of Bundesliga sides are also tracking the 20 year-old.

Adamu gained his first senior experience playing for FC Liefering, Salzburg's reserve side, scoring 26 times in 49 appearances across three seasons in Austria's second tier.

He spent the second half of last season on loan at Swiss side FC Gallen, netting eight goals in 18 games and has returned to Salzburg this season.

The Austrians are top of both their domestic league and Champions League group with £15m-rated Adamu contributing four goals and an assist in his 19 appearances so far, six of which have been starts.
