Leeds United transfer target Cameron Archer is not involved in Southampton’s Premier League clash at Ipswich Town today. The in-demand striker misses out because of a groin injury.
It is thought Archer has not taken part in a number of training sessions this week due to his knock. The Saints recently knocked back an approach from the Whites to sign Archer on loan. Boss Ivan Juric is adamant the former Aston Villa player will remain at St Mary’s, despite speculation surrounding his future. Sunderland and Wolverhampton Wanderers are also said to be big admirers of Archer.
think Cameron is a very good player and a great guy,” said Juric. “For him, we’ve changed the style of game a little bit and maybe he’s suffered a little bit.
But he is working really hard to understand what I want from him. We will see in these [coming] days. I don’t think something will happen. He will stay with us and we will work with him, I think so.”
Juric has used Archer sparingly since taking over the reins on December 23, with the 23-year-old starting just one of the seven matches the Croatian has overseen. Archer has only made 10 Premier League starts since moving to the south coast in a £15m deal last summer
