In his pre-Sunderland presser today, Southampton boss Russell Martin was asked about Southampton’s pursuit of Ross Stewart. Here is what he said…
ALWAYS BEEN AN ADMIRER
"I really like Ross, I tried to sign him at MK Dons. I really liked him then and he's gone on to do brilliantly at Sunderland.”
NOT SAYING NO
"He's been out for a while. We're going to be linked with so many players. Some of those are so far away that we haven't even discussed, and some of them are really close to the mark and some of them we'll probably end up bringing in. Ross is one of a number that we've been linked with, and again, we'll just have to wait and see [what happens]."
