Norwich and Southampton to battle it out for Blackburn star Adam Armstrong with Premier League duo the frontrunners to land £8m striker as he enters final year of his deal

Norwich and Southampton are heading for a battle for Blackburn striker Adam Armstrong.

The Premier League pair have emerged as two of the main contenders to land prolific former Newcastle frontman Armstrong.

Armstrong had a brilliant campaign last season, netting 28 goals in 40 Championship appearances and finishing just five strikes short of the division’s record-breaking top scorer Ivan Toney.
