Clement makes transfer U-turn as Rangers eye return to “unbelievable” star
Given that many rumors coming out of Ibrox suggest that there will be several high-profile departures this summer, Rangers and Philippe Clement appear ready to rekindle their interest in one of the top players in the Scottish Premiership. Rangers may have to sell in order to make a purchase. The primary rumor circulating among Rangers supporters is manager Clement’s admonition that current players will have to depart the team before the roster can be reconstructed. Right now, the two defenders who are drawing the most attention are James Tavernier and Connor Goldson, who have both been linked to moves outside of Scotland.
Despite their apparent financial struggles, Rangers have still managed to bring a host of fresh faces through the door at Ibrox during the early passages of the summer window.
With Rangers making good use of free transfers during the window so far, the club could now be set to spend big on a target that Clement had previously rejected.
£3m striker back on Rangers’ target list
As first reported by The Daily Record, Lawrence Shankland’s name has returned to Rangers’ list of targets for this summer. The outlet understands that Clement had previously voiced his opposition to bringing the striker to Ibrox in January but now appears to have U-turned on this position.
The report goes on to state that an official bid for Shankland could be made before the Scottish Premiership season starts again on August 3rd. The 28-year-old is now in the final 12 months of his current deal at Hearts and could fetch a fee in the region of £3million if he is to leave the club this summer.
