According to a recent update regarding his future, a “excellent” Rangers player is now thinking about finalizing a move to England during the summer transfer window.
News about Rangers transfers
The Glasgow Rangers were disappointed not to win the Scottish Premiership; Celtic pulled away in the last few games, including a 2-1 victory over Philippe Clement’s team last weekend.
Rangers have been connected to a number of players, including young Stoke City midfielder Souleymane Sidibe, but new additions will be needed this summer as they try to go even further and become even stronger title contenders next season. With eight Potters outings under his belt, the 17-year-old is regarded as a promising young player.
Jose Cordoba, a 22-year-old center back for Levski Sofia who has been praised as the “best defender in his league,” has also received support to finalize his move to Ibrox. The Gers and Celtic are rumored to be interested in Aberdeen midfielder Connor Barron.
While on loan from Brighton, Abdallah Sima has had a fantastic season with Rangers, and the Scottish powerhouse may try to sign him long-term.
But certain players may possibly go Ibrox before the new campaign begins, and an important development has surfaced about one of them.
“Excellent” Rangers player considering a move to England
John Lundstram’s future is still uncertain, although he is now considering a summer move from Rangers to England, per a recent update from Football Insider.
The 30-year-old is reportedly “exploring his options over whether to move back to England” when his contract expires at the end of the current campaign. After that, he will be free to sign for another team.
At this point, it does certainly feel more likely that Lundstram will depart Rangers in the coming weeks, perhaps feeling that he has come as far as he can at the club, following 152 appearances in total.
They will hold out some hope that he could have a late change of heart, and while the midfielder may now be 30 years of age, he remains an important player, being lauded by former colleague Oli McBurnie, who has said of him:
“He’s a top player. John can play anywhere in midfield. He’s a midfield engine, excellent with both feet and has a great range of passing with an eye for a goal as well. He’s a natural-born winner. As a lad from Liverpool, I think we all know what they are like, passion-wise. Demanding of his teammates both in training and in games, but one of the best blokes you will meet.”
Should Lundstram bring an end to his time at Rangers, he should be remembered as a strong servant, with his nightmare own goal and red card at Celtic last weekend a rare bad day at the office for him.
There is still hope Rangers can persuade him to stay with a new deal, but the longer he remains available to talk to other clubs, the more likely his Ibrox exit this summer appears to be.
