Sunderland are ready to offer striker Ross Stewart more money in a bid to fend off interest from Rangers and a litany of other English clubs. The Stadium of Light side’s top scorer has already pocketed an automatic rise after proving pivotal in their promotion back to the English Championship.
Now Sunderland want to table a further improvement and an extended deal to last season’s 26-goal forward. The club plan to kick talks off when the former Ross County player comes back from his summer break in the coming days.
Stewart is on Rangers ’ radar and is among a number of striking options at which Ibrox sporting director Ross Wilson is looking. PAOK frontman Antonio Colak is another in the Glasgow giants’ sights with the Greek side looking for a deal of around £2.5 million for their Croatian star.
