Burnley midfielder Scott Arfield has been tipped to swap the Premier League for Ibrox, with Josh Windass’s potential Leeds United move freeing up space.
Rangers face a difficult decision about what to do with Josh Windass.
But the report adds that Rangers are set to receive a substantial offer from Championship giants Leeds United for Windass’s services.
It is understood they will offer far more than the £500,000 put on the table by Preston North End, meaning Rangers would earn a substantial profit on a player they signed for a minimal fee back in the summer of 2016.
Windass has been one of Rangers’ stand-out performers since Graeme Murty replaced Pedro Caixinha back in October, netting six times in his last 11 games. But for the fee Rangers would receive for the 24-year-old, they could reinvest it in the squad or sign a player of proven Premier League quality.
The midfielder has just six months left on his contract at Burnley and could therefore be available on a cut-price fee; a deal Rangers could possibly afford if they were to cash in on Windass this month.
And while Windass has emerged as a key player, even filling in on the left when required, Arfield is a player who has impressed in England’s top flight over the last few years and would arguably be an upgrade on the talented former Accrington Stanley man.
Arfield may be five years older but he would be joining Rangers at the peak of his powers.
But will Rangers cash in on Windass to fund a deal?
