Sunderland are ready to hand Ross Stewart a bumper new contract in a bid to fend off transfer interest from Rangers and a host of English clubs, according to a report.
The Scotland international already pocketed an automatic pay rise after proving pivotal in the Black Cats promotion back to the English Championship. He finished as top scorer netting 26 times and now his club side want to put a further contract improvement and an extended deal on the table.
The Stadium of Light outfit plan to start talks with the former Ross County man when he arrives back from his summer break say the Daily Record. Giovanni van Bronckhorst is eyeing up a number of striking options as he looks to beef up his Ibrox attack with Stewart one of those on his radar. PAOK frontman Antonio Colak is another in the Light Blues' sights with the Greek outfit looking for a reported fee in the £2.5million region.
