Jak Alnwick is reportedly frustrated at Scottish Premiership giants Rangers but has been priced out of a move to League One Shrewsbury Town.

Jak Alnwick of Rangers saves from Conor Sammon of Partick Thistle during the Betfred League Cup Quarter Final at Firhill Stadium on September 19, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

The writing was on the wall for Jak Alnwick as soon as former Ibrox hero Allan McGregor returned to Rangers on a free transfer from Hull City.

Alnwick had struggled for regular game-time anyway since arriving in Scotland from Port Vale in January of last year, making just seven Scottish Premiership starts with all but one of those coming when regular number one Wes Foderingham was absent through injury.

The Express claimed that the former Newcastle United youngster was keen to end his spell on the Ibrox bench. But it remains to be seen whether he will get his wish.

The Mail reported that Shrewsbury Town were keen to offer Alnwick an escape route this summer. The beaten League One play-off finalists need a new number one, having seen Dean Henderson’s loan spell from Manchester United come to an end and Craig McGillivray join Portsmouth.

But The Sun believe that The Shrews have been priced out of a move for the 24-year-old with his wages and transfer fee proving too costly for the side who shocked everyone last summer by reaching Wembley.

The Sun, then, report that Alnwick is set to stay at Rangers for now but it would still be a surprise if he was at Ibrox when the transfer window slammed shut in August.

As it stands, he will be third choice behind McGregor and Foderingham at Rangers.
