Sunderland Sporting Director Kristjaan Speakman has delivered a calming update for any supporters worried about the future of talismanic striker Ross Stewart. The Scottish striker has been a revelation since making the move to Wearside almost two years ago and was the club's top scorer at the time of his injury.
His fine form, both last season and in the current campaign, has seen a number of clubs sit up and take note. Stewart has been linked with a move back to Scotland with Rangers reportedly keen on a transfer.
Despite Stewart being in the final year of his contract, the club has the option for another year, which Sunderland are likely to activate.
