​Southampton, Crystal Palace lead charge for Celtic midfielder Armstrong

Celtic midfielder Stuart Armstrong could be on his way to Premier League, with number of clubs interested in his services.

According to the Daily Record, Southampton, Crystal Palace and Brighton are leading the race for Armstrong.

The Scottish champions are ready to sell the player this summer to avoid losing him in a free transfer next year.

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers gave the Scottish international just 15 starts last season as the player fell down the pecking order following his refusal to commit to a long-term deal.

Now, Armstrong is determined to make his move and Celtic will try and start a bidding war between the interested parties.
