Southampton confirm they have agreed a deal with Celtic for highly-rated midfielder Stuart Armstrong. The 26-year-old has signed a contract at St Mary’s until 2022 and will train with his new teammates on Thursday, June 28. Manager Mark Hughes said he’s “delighted” to have beaten off a lot of competition for his signature and believes he can improve the squad.
“Stuart is a player who we have admired for some time, and I am delighted we have been able to bring him here, especially given the competition we faced to sign him,” he said.
