Stuart Armstrong has entered the realm of free agency following the expiration of his contract with Southampton, despite the club’s keen interest in retaining him after their promotion to the Premier League. Armstrong’s decision to explore new opportunities has drawn attention from several clubs, notably Fulham in the Premier League and Fiorentina in Serie A, as reported by TalkSPORT.
Although Celtic fans hold fond memories of Armstrong’s impactful performances during Brendan Rodgers’s initial tenure and may entertain the idea of his return, there have been no solid indications of a potential move back to Parkhead.
Nevertheless, the possibility of a late transfer cannot be entirely ruled out, especially considering Armstrong’s desirable attributes. He not only fulfills the homegrown player quota for UEFA competitions but also boasts significant experience in the SPFL and a strong rapport with manager Brendan Rodgers, under whom he showcased some of his finest football. Additionally, his availability adds to his appeal.
These factors position Armstrong as an enticing option should Celtic contemplate revisiting their former player for a potential signing, offering a blend of experience, proven quality, and value.
However, at present, Armstrong’s future appears more inclined towards continuing in the Premier League or exploring opportunities in Italian football with Fiorentina.
