Glasgow Rangers are reportedly facing Premier League competition from Watford, Wolves, Leicester City and Chelsea for Vukovic.

Rangers are facing plenty of competition for the signature of Maritimo midfielder Josip Vukovic, as reported by talkSPORT.

A Bola reported earlier in February that the Scottish Premiership giants were keen to add yet another body to their already well-stocked midfield, with 26-year-old Vukovic on their radar.

talkSPORT have backed up these claims, stating that Rangers are continuing to watch the highly-rated Croatian as the summer transfer window looms. But Steven Gerrard’s side is facing competition from a number of Premier League teams, including big-spending Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Wolves have plenty of funds thanks to their billionaire Chinese owners and have smashed their transfer record four times since the summer of 2016.

The report adds that Leicester City and Watford are also interested in the tough-tackling Vukovic. Chelsea have expressed their interest, too, but a deal looks unlikely as long as they are under a FIFA-imposed transfer ban.

So Rangers will be hoping that the presence of legendary midfielder Steven Gerrard in the dugout is enough to convince Vukovic to choose Ibrox over Wolves, Watford and Leicester next summer.
