Southampton Transfer News: Saints plan Celtic raid for star player Stuart Armstrong
SOUTHAMPTON are ready to move for Celtic star Stuart Armstrong.
Southampton want to sign Celtic's Stuart Armstrong
The midfielder is in the last 12 months of his contract and has yet to sign an extension.
Saints have been trailing Armstrong since his Dundee United days.
Senior staff watched the 25-year-old Scotland international in several games for club and country last season.
The Premier League club could offer him wages of £30,000 a week.

Now Armstrong must decide if he wants to stay at Parkhead or look south, with West Brom and Brighton also keen.
Meanwhile, Celtic captain Scott Brown has revealed that he is back for good with Scotland.
The midfielder’s previous game-by-game approach to caps has been replaced by full and total commitment.
Brown, 32, said: “As long as I’m fit and I can hit those numbers, then fine.
"I want to maintain being in the squad and being in that environment.”
Meanwhile, 21-year-old Celtic midfielder Jamie Lindsay has joined Ross County on a season-long loan.
