Swansea City closes in on signing Ross Stewart from Southampton

Summary

Swansea City is nearing a deal to sign Scotland international Ross Stewart after his release from Southampton. The 30-year-old striker, who has four caps for Scotland, left St Mary’s following a contract dispute and was part of Scotland’s World Cup squad. Swansea's move for Stewart raises questions about the future of top scorer Zan Vipotnik, especially after the recent sale of Liam Cullen to Leicester City. Head coach Vitor Matos expressed an interest in both Stewart and Valencia midfielder Andre Almeida, indicating plans for further squad reinforcement before the transfer window closes.
