And he believes he would be a good addition for Rangers this summer.
Speaking to Grosvenor Sport, he said: "People will be taking notice of Ross Stewart because of how well he's done this season - I think his career has been fascinating.
"The success that Sunderland have had this season has been down to him and he deserves to be linked with clubs like Rangers.
"I don't see any doubt whatsoever that he's earned his move, if a move does come along and I'm sure he'd be a good signing for anyone with the goal record he has."
