According to reports, Sheffield United and Fulham are competing for Rangers striker Kemar Roofe before the summer transfer window opens.
The attacker, who cost £4.5 million to acquire from Belgian Pro League team Anderlecht in August 2020, has played in 99 games and scored 38 goals since joining the Glasgow-based team.
Under Steven Gerrard’s direction, Roofe assisted Rangers in winning the Scottish Premiership in 2020–21. The following season, he was a member of the Gers team that advanced to the Europa League final.
The former Leeds United player has only appeared in 12 Premiership games this season as Phillipe Clement’s team attempts to win the Scottish championship due to a number of injury concerns.
Roofe has really not started a league game since the 3-0 victory at St. Mirren on October 8; in that time, he has made 11 substitute appearances in all competitions.
Two Premier League teams are reportedly keeping an eye on Roofe’s circumstances at Ibrox in anticipation of possible summer trades for the winger, according to Football Insider.
According to the source, the 31-year-old, who may be nearing the end of his time in Glasgow, is being pursued by both Sheffield United and Fulham.
Roofe can leave Rangers during the summer transfer window on a free agent’s contract, which expires at the end of the current campaign.
Now that their place in the Premier League has been officially confirmed for another season, Marco Silva’s Cottagers are trying to add more strikers to back up players like Raul Jimenez and Rodrigo Muniz.
On the other hand, with United 10 points below Nottingham Forest in 17th position in the premier league, Chris Wilder’s Blades face a real threat of making an instant return to the Championship.
