Ross Stewart targeted for Swansea transfer as Sunderland face fight to keep star man

Swansea are one of a number of clubs who are eyeing Sunderland star Ross Stewart.

The Welsh side are believed to have sounded out the Black Cats about their top scorer as Russell Martin eyes a jolt in the final third.

Sunderland don't want to sell their 18 goal Scottish hitman amid their own League One promotion push.

Stewart has been one of Sunderland’s main men this season and his performances and goals have also seen him muted for a potential Scotland call-up.

It has also brought him to the attention of a number of English Premier League and Championship clubs who are watching his situation closely.

It has been an almighty rise for Stewart who quit Ross County for Wearside last January.

The big striker has seen his stock rise and that has brought him to the attention of the Swans boss.

It remains to be seen if Swansea or any other club have the financial muscle to make anything happen on that front before the close of the window.

Stewart is still under contract for another 18 months.
