He was won more Man of the Match awards than any other player in Portugal and won Liga NOS’ Player of the Month for April. Southampton are said to have formally stated their intentions to try and sign the midfielder who is available on a free transfer after his contract expired at Farense.
Fans were surprised when Gauld wasn’t selected for Steve Clarke’s Scotland squad at Euro 2020 this summer, the Scots manager explaining: “He’s a good player – had a good season for his club.
“But when you look at the area of squad he’s trying to get into, it’s difficult to fit into that squad. We’ve got John McGinn, David Turnbull, Stuart Armstrong. Unfortunately for Ryan he has missed out.”
