Ross Stewart has hailed the impact Jermain Defoe has had on the Sunderland dressing room since returning to the Stadium of Light in January. Stewart was rewarded for his fine form this season with his first call-up to the Scotland squad after netting 22 goals so far this campaign.
The 25-year-old admits he's learned a lot from the former England international in his short time at the club, despite being in the twilight period of his career . Stewart reveals the pair have been 'close' since Defoe's return to Wearside and the former Tottenham striker has taken him under his wing.
Defoe is yet to score for Sunderland since his return to Wearside, but part of that has been down to the form of Stewart. The Sunderland striker has not been capped by his country at any level, but is in line to make an appearance over the course of the international break.
