Swansea City are reportedly closing in on the signing of Ross Stewart from Southampton as they look to bolster their attack ahead of the upcoming Championship season. The free agent striker, who has been linked with a move to the Swansea.com Stadium, could provide an important boost to Vitor Matos' side's play-off ambitions.
Stewart, 30, recently cut ties with Southampton after his contract expired in late June. He has made 50 appearances for the Saints across all competitions and scored 12 goals and provided three assists during his time at St Mary’s Stadium. His experience and goal-scoring ability would be a valuable asset to Swansea City as they prepare for the new campaign.
The Welsh club have been busy in recent transfer windows, signing players like Elijah Just and Moussa Yeo. Stewart could add another dimension to their squad, providing competition for Zan Vipotnik for the number nine position. With over 105 goals in his career, Stewart is a proven goal scorer at the second tier level.
Stewart’s previous clubs include St Mirren, Ross County, and Sunderland. He was part of Southampton's play-off final side last season before their controversial exit due to Spygate. His experience and track record make him an attractive signing for Swansea City as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the new Championship season.
Swansea City will face Birmingham City in the Carabao Cup this weekend, followed by a league match against Stoke City next Saturday. A deal with Stewart would send a strong statement from Vitor Matos' side and could significantly enhance their chances of securing a play-off spot.
