Departing Southampton striker Adam Armstrong faces off against former teammate Stuart Armstrong today.
Adam Armstrong has returned to the Championship, joining West Brom on loan in search of regular game time. While the move offers him a fresh start, his new surroundings might feel quite familiar.
Despite the clear difference in competitiveness between the Premier League and the Championship, Southampton remains closely tied to England’s second tier. Their struggles since promotion put them at risk of returning, and several players in their squad have extensive Championship experience.
Armstrong won’t have to wait long to see a familiar face. Just days after leaving, he’s set to reunite with Stuart Armstrong as West Brom takes on Sheffield Wednesday. Though not the biggest surprise, the meeting will surely bring a smile to the 27-year-old striker, as Stuart, who left for MLS last year, has now returned to the Championship.
For Southampton fans, watching the two share the pitch again will be a reminder of their past success. Their contributions remain a cherished memory, even as the club battles for consistency.
This match also presents an opportunity for Armstrong to make an impact and push for a permanent move. With his role at Southampton fading, a strong spell at West Brom could shape his future. With five months until preseason, he has the chance to earn a fresh start—possibly even with the Baggies.
