Armstrong fee agreed

Southampton have reportedly agreed a fee of £7m with Celtic for midfielder Stuart Armstrong as they look to make their first summer signing.

According to a report from BBC Scotland, the initial fee could rise to a higher figure due to add-ons and other clauses as part of the deal.

Saints are now believed to be negotiating terms with Armstrong and his representatives as the deal advances further to completion.

The 26-year-old has been a long-term target for Saints after supposed interest in bringing him to St Mary’s last year.
