Burnley midfielder Scott Arfield is reportedly close to joining Rangers.
Rangers are looking to make a head start on the summer transfer window as they are believed to be closing in on the signature of Burnley midfielder Scott Arfield.
The Gers haven’t yet secured second place and subsequent European qualification, but director of football Mark Allen is attempting to get business done early ahead of the transfer window.
Sky Sports report that Burnley midfielder Scott Arfield is now close to signing for Rangers on a free transfer, as his contract at Turf Moor will come to an end this summer.
The former Falkirk midfielder, 29, had a spell with Huddersfield Town before heading to Burnley in 2013, and he has racked up nearly 200 appearances under Sean Dyche.
A Canadian international having switched his allegiance from Scotland in 2016, Arfield has been on the fringes of the Burnley side this season, and he now prepared to move on and head back to Scotland.
Rangers fans are understandably encouraged by a move for Arfield, but many ‘gutted’ Burnley fans took to Twitter suggesting that they don’t want him to leave, urging him not to go having been such a reliable performer in recent years.
Others feel that it’s time for Arfield to move on as he isn’t quite good enough for the Premier League, but they wish him all the best at Rangers having been a work horse and a fantastic player throughout his five-year stay in East Lancashire.
