Rangers are reportedly interested in Jack Marriott but it will cost £6m to sign the striker – can they really afford that?
Nottingham Forest and Sheffield Wednesday are the other two, with Marriott having impressed following a 2017 move from Luton Town, top scoring in League One with 27 goals and netting 33 times in all competitions.
Posh manager Steve Evans recently admitted that a club from Scotland had shown interest in the 23-year-old and it now seems like it is Gers.
Can they afford him?
The Scotsman reports that any side that wants to sign Marriott will have to pay the striker’s £6m asking price, with £4m offers for the former Luton man rejected during the January transfer window.
Yet Rangers spent £8m in total last summer to bring six new players to Ibrox, plus another two signed as free agents and three more as loans.
Unless the hierarchy at the Glasgow outfit have found new boss Steven Gerrard significantly more funds to spend this time around, it would seem like a reckless decision to sanction such a large proportion of the budget on one forward.
