Adam Armstrong Has Said His Goodbyes Ahead Of Southampton Medical
Tony Mowbray the Blackburn Rovers manager has confirmed to the media in the North West that Adam Armstrong is heading to Southampton as he wished him all success at St Mary's, strangely Saints are still officially yet to announce that Danny Ings has left the club.
Adam Armstrong has been back to the Blackburn Training ground to clear out his locker and say his goodbyes to his soon to be former team mates and the Rovers coaching staff, with terms now seemingly agreed between both clubs and also the player and Saints he is now heading South for a medical at Staplewood on Tuesday
Blackburn boss Tony Mowbray had this to say about the departing Armstrong:
"I think everything is agreed, I am not sure there is much to prevent that deal going though," Mowbray told Rovers TV.
"Adam is fit and will be doing his medical. Things moved in different directions over the last few days.
"I think it is only right that the club has a valuation and it needed to be met and Southampton are ultimately the team that came up with the deal that is right for the football club.
"We wish Adam well, he has been in my office this morning, he went round the whole club from the kit men to the cleaners and kitchen staff and said his goodbyes and his thank-yous.
"We should wish him well, he has been brilliant for the football club and the job now is to strengthen the team and make it stronger in other departments and find new heroes.
