LEEDS UNITED will target a loan swoop for Che Adams from Southampton if Eddie Nketiah gets recalled by Arsenal.
The Gunners are considering bringing their 20-year-old hotshot back from Elland Road due to a lack of starts.

Despite making most of his appearances from the bench, the youngster has still managed to find the net five times and has numerous clubs chasing his services.
And according to The Telegraph, Marcelo Bielsa has already identified the perfect replacement.
Adams, 23, cost Southampton £15m last summer from Birmingham.
That came on the back of a blistering campaign in the Championship for the Blues where he bagged 22 goals.
But he has been unable to continue that rich vein of form in the top-flight.
The forward is yet to hit the back of the net for Saints but boss Ralph Hasenhuttl started him recently against both Chelsea and Crystal Palace.
It is understood Hasenhuttl wants to keep him at St Mary’s in order to help with the club’s survival fight.
However, Leeds have made him their No.1 target to replace Nketiah.
And today’s report claims they will try to tempt him to help bolster their promotion charge with the promise of regular starts.
