According to reports down south, Southampton is trying to outrace every club in contention for Stuart Armstrong’s signature.
With the Celtic players due back tomorrow for preseason training, the Scottish midfielder has yet to finalize his future and will hold crunch talks with the manager and Peter Lawwell regarding the matter.
Armstrong is running towards the final year of his contract at Parkhead, having only agreed to a one-year contract extension last summer.
It’s widely accepted that Celtic will sell the midfielder should he refuse to agree to an extension.
The player has gotten the attention of a number of clubs down south with Southampton very keen on luring Armstrong away from Scotland to the Premier League.
West Brom, Fulham, Crystal Palace and several other clubs are hoping to sign the player on a cheap.
