Stuart Armstrong 'finds' next club as Vancouver Whitecaps tease transfer

Scotland midfielder Stuart Armstrong is on the brink of finalising a transfer to Major League Soccer's Vancouver Whitecaps.

The 32-year-old, who featured for his country at Euro 2024 over the summer, has been a free agent since departing Southampton at the end of the 2023/24 season, and it appears he is ready to embark on a new chapter in his career.

Armstrong is close to signing a contract with the Canadian club, where he would reunite with his former Dundee United teammate, Ryan Gauld.

This potential partnership could bring a dynamic edge to the Whitecaps' midfield, combining Armstrong's experience and skill with Gauld's flair and creativity.

Since his contract with Southampton expired in June, Armstrong has been carefully considering his next move, evaluating various options before settling on the opportunity in Vancouver.

As the Whitecaps prepare for a busy end to the season, Armstrong’s addition could prove pivotal in their quest for success in the competitive MLS landscape.
