Southampton complete Stuart Armstrong capture

Southampton complete the signing of midfielder Stuart Armstrong from Celtic.

Southampton have completed the signing of attacking midfielder Stuart Armstrong from Celtic.

The Scotland international has signed a four-year contract with the Saints and will link up with his new teammates later this week.

"Southampton seems a really good fit for me. Watching from afar, I really enjoy the attractive football that they play and I'm very happy to be here," Armstrong told Southampton's official website.

"Every season, I put demands on myself to create and score goals. I hope going forwards from here that it will be the same this term at St Mary's.

"I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and I'm very excited to get started. It's a four-year contract; there will be a lot to learn and I want to hit the ground running."

Southampton did not disclose how much they paid for Armstrong, but previous reports suggest that the fee could rise to £8m.
