Stuart Armstrong Joins Vancouver Whitecaps from Southampton

Stuart Armstrong, the 32-year-old Scotland international midfielder, has officially signed with Major League Soccer's Vancouver Whitecaps after leaving Southampton as a free agent. Armstrong, who spent six seasons with Southampton, is excited to reunite with former teammate Ryan Gauld, now captain of the Whitecaps. The club's sporting director, Axel Schuster, praised Armstrong for his experience, tactical awareness, and ability to enhance the team's attacking play. Armstrong had been training with Brentford but opted for the MLS despite interest from other clubs. His move marks a new chapter after helping Southampton return to the Premier League through the play-offs last season.
