Ross Stewart

Ross Stewart is a powerful, old-fashioned centre-forward whose best football came at Sunderland, where his goals were central to their League One title win and subsequent Championship campaign — a run that made him one of the most talked-about strikers outside the Premier League. A serious injury disrupted his momentum before his Southampton move, and he has struggled to fully recapture that form in the top flight. For Scotland, he offers a different profile to Lawrence Shankland — more aerial threat, more hold-up play — giving the national team a physical option off the bench or as a starter.
