Southampton lining up bid for Celtic midfielder Stuart Armstrong

Southampton are lining up a bid for Celtic midfielder Stuart Armstrong.

The Daily Mail says Southampton are weighing up a move to make Armstrong their next £10 million capture from Celtic.

The Scotland midfielder is entering the final year of his contract.

Celtic would command a fee of around £10m for a player signed from Dundee United for £1.2m, but won't consider selling before the conclusion of the Champions League qualifiers.

The Scottish champions have already pocketed substantial sums from Southampton following the sales of Victor Wanyama, Fraser Forster and Virgil van Dijk.
