Many Sunderland fans are over the moon after seeing tweets from the club announcing that they have managed to sign attacking player Ross Stewart.

Stewart has penned an initial two-and-a-half-year deal at the Stadium of Light, with the club having an option for a further year, as he arrives from Scottish Premiership side Ross County. One fan said they were 'delighted' after seeing the announcement.

The 24-year-old featured 19 times in the SPFL, picking up two goals and one assist (WhoScored). Albeit this is not the best tally for an attacker, his in-game stats show he can be a huge threat for the League One side. Stewart has managed on average 2.1 shots and 1.2 key passes per game this season.

An attacking signing is always a good thing, especially with Sunderland right in the thick of the play-off race. Manager Lee Johnson bringing in another forward to bolster the squad as they push for promotion has rightfully excited a lot of the Black Cats fan base.

Here is what these Sunderland fans had to say following the signing:

"And suddenly a shocking transfer window has turned into a credible one. Depth at left-back? Pace out wide? Progressive passer in midfield? Added goals upfront? Hopefully Stewart can help Wyke with the goals and fire us to the Championship. #SAFC"
