Stuart Armstrong left Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic for Southampton in the summer transfer window.
Premier League club Southampton signed Armstrong from Scottish Premiership outfit Celtic in the summer of 2018 for a transfer fee reported by The Daily Mail to be worth £7 million.
The 26-year-old midfielder did not make a great start to life in the Premier League, but the Scotland international has started to turn on the style for the Saints.
The former Dundee United midfielder has scored two goals in 307 minutes of Premier League football for Southampton so far this season, according to WhoScored.
Armstrong has said that he does not regret leaving Southampton for Celtic in the summer transfer window.
“Definitely not,” Armstrong told The Times when asked if he regrets leaving Celtic for Southampton.
Armstrong further explained his decision: “It wasn’t easy to leave but I needed to challenge myself in a different way.
“If I’d got to 35 and hung up my boots and not taken a chance to play in the Premier League, something I’d dreamt about as a young boy, I would have regretted it.”
Improving
Armstrong still has to show the Premier League audience what he is capable of, and perhaps the Scotland international midfielder will do that in the coming weeks and months.
The Saints are struggling for survival in the Premier League at the moment and are in danger of getting relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.
