Norwich City must make a free transfer swoop for Ross Stewart, a 29-year-old Scottish forward who has just been released by Southampton. The Canaries have two excellent young strikers in Mo Toure and Jovon Makama, but they could use another option, and Stewart's experience and goal-scoring record make him an attractive signing. With 40 goals in 81 matches for Sunderland from 2021 to 2023, Stewart has proven himself to be a phenomenal striker at this level, and his experience in bouncing back from injury could be a huge help to Makama. Norwich City are looking to push for promotion this season under Philippe Clement, and smart recruitment is key to success in the Championship, with the Canaries having already spent around £60m over the last two seasons and still remaining a Championship side. The club have already made three additions to the squad, including a big-money move for Andre Brooks from Sheffield United, but more signings will be eyed, and Stewart could be a key signing. With a full season ahead of him, big things are expected from Clement, and the signing of Stewart could be a major boost to the Canaries' promotion hopes, currently 30 points behind leaders Coventry, with a recent form of LDWWL and a goal difference of +7, having scored 63 goals and conceded 56. The Canaries will know they need another body in attack after Makama's injury, and Stewart's availability on a free transfer makes him an attractive option, with the Scottish forward having made 25 Championship appearances last year, scoring eight goals, and earning a spot in Scotland's FIFA World Cup squad.
