Ben Johnson, a transfer target for Rangers, is expected to reject West Ham United’s last contract offer, according to the Sunday Mirror. The publication revealed on page 49 of their print edition on May 12 that Johnson, 24, had previously rejected offers for new contracts at the London Stadium. However, because David Moyes is expected to depart the Hammers, an additional attempt has been made to bind the right-back.
But it’s claimed that Johnson has decided he doesn’t want to continue in East London and will look for a free move in the summer, despite interest from Rangers, Leeds, and Wolves. Is an agreement to sign James Tavernier’s successor with the Rangers imminent?
If anything has been demonstrated in the past few weeks, it is that the players who have been at Ibrox the longest have been the biggest disappointments, so Philippe Clement ought to be seeking to restructure the Rangers roster during the summer transfer window. That was epitomized by John Lundstram’s horror show against Celtic on Saturday, May 11. However, this summer, players like Borna Barisic, Connor Goldson, Ryan Jack, and James Tavernier—as well as the less-than-silky Scouser—all need to be watched.
Tavernier has already been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia [Daily Record] and although he’s broken goalscoring records in his time at Ibrox, they’re welcome to him.
In the defense, Tavernier has always been a heart attack waiting to happen, but his goals will undoubtedly be replaced. Recall that he has scored numerous goals from the penalty spot, thus Rangers ought to be able to win penalties even without the former Newcastle right-back on the team. It’s time to move on from the old and into the new, and the Gers are fortunate to have someone in Clement who can manage this significant transition.
