Stuart Armstrong could make surprise return to former club

That came after a sting playing in MLS with Vancouver Whitecaps, alongside Ryan Gauld. Wrexham have shown an interest in signing the 33-year-old but have yet to officially make their move. Read more: But the Scottish Sun is now reporting Sheffield Wednesday could attempt to keep him after all. They are currently under a transfer embargo as punishment for not paying players' wages on time and can only sign free agents. That has put Armstrong on their radar again as they consider trying to lure him back. Wednesday look set to sell Djeidi Gassama to Rangers while Josh Windass is also apparently interesting the Ibrox club again.
