Adam Armstrong is Now Better Suited to the Premier League

Why Armstrong is Better Suited to Premier League Football This Time Around

When Southampton signed Adam Armstrong in the summer of 2021, they were hoping that he could be the man to fire them back to the Premier League. The striker had scored 28 goals in the Championship for Blackburn Rovers the previous season, and he had also impressed on loan at Coventry City in the 2019-20 campaign.

However, Armstrong struggled to make an impact at St Mary's in his first season, scoring just two goals in 27 appearances. He was often played out of position on the wing, and he found it difficult to adapt to the demands of Premier League football.

But Armstrong has shown a different side to his game this season. He has been playing as a central striker, and he has already scored 15 goals in 30 appearances. He is now one of the most in-form strikers in the Championship, and he is playing with a confidence that was lacking last season.

So, what has changed for Armstrong this season?

• He is playing in his preferred position as a central striker.
• He has a better understanding of the demands of Premier League football.
• He is more confident and settled in his surroundings.

Armstrong's resurgence has been a major factor in Southampton's promotion push. He is now one of the most feared strikers in the Championship, and he is playing with a level of consistency that he has never shown before.

If Armstrong can continue to score goals, Southampton will be confident of securing an immediate return to the Premier League. He is a player who is now better suited to the Premier League than ever before, and he has the potential to be a real asset for the Saints.
