Ross Stewart: Southampton sign Sunderland striker for undisclosed fee

Southampton have signed Ross Stewart on a three-year deal from Sunderland.

The Scotland striker, 27, is Saints' eighth signing of the window and follows the earlier deadline day signing of England Under-21 centre-back Taylor Harwood-Bellis.

He joins on a season-long loan deal from Premier League champions Manchester City.

Meanwhile Saints' Germany international defender Armel Bella-Kotchap has joined PSV Eindhoven on a season-long loan.

The 21-year-old made 26 appearances last season after arriving from Bochum.

Stewart scored 40 goals in 81 games for Sunderland after joining from Scottish side Ross County in January 2021.

That included 26 goals in the Black Cats' promotion from League One in the 2021-22 season, including one in the play-off final at Wembley.
