Stoke boss Neil 'keen on' transfer move for Sunderland striker StewartAlex Neil is credited with transfer interest in his old Sunderland striker Ross Stewart. Stoke City, Blackburn, Rangers and 'a number of Championship sides' are apparently keen on the 26-year-old, with Middlesbrough reported as showing the strongest interest, according to Sky Sports' North East correspondent Keith Downie. Stewart helped Sunderland win promotion from League One under Neil last season and has started the new one with seven goals in nine appearances either side of injury. READ MORE: Stoke City boss reveals what he wants to add to squad READ MORE: Shotton still baffled by Pulis decision over Pennant His future is up for debate because his contract is reported to run out in the summer and he will be eligible to move as a free agent - although Tony Mowbray seemed to confirm an option to extend that deal by 12 months.
“If there is interest it doesn’t come to me, ” said Mowbray told The Northern Echo. “I’m anticipating Ross just enjoying his football really. He’s been out for four months or so, I think he’ll just want to play and score and do well. “There’s no real emergency around his contract situation. He still has 18 months to go. I’m sure those conversations will still be ongoing. Ross will just be ready to play and enjoy his football and that’s his personality. He’s a good lad. It’s great he’s come back and hit the ground running straight away and scored in his first few games.
Hopefully that will continue. ” Stewart joined Sunderland from Ross County last year and has scored 36 goals in 62 starts and 13 sub appearances. Stoke have been hamstrung by Financial Fair Play rules in the transfer market particularly since 2019 but would be expected to be able to reinvest any money they were able to make from sales. Harry Souttar has been attracting Premier League interest. Downie wrote: "Middlesbrough are showing the strongest interest from a clutch of clubs wanting to sign Sunderland striker Ross Stewart.
