Emerson Hyndman had a loan spell at Ibrox last season, and the Bournemouth midfielder would be wise to choose Graeme Murty’s Glasgow Rangers over Sunderland in the January transfer window.

Emerson Hyndman has been linked with moves to Rangers and Sunderland. According to The Sun, Graeme Murty’s Rangers are interested in signing the youngster on loan from Bournemouth, while The Chronicle has credited Sunderland in the Championship in England with interest in the 21-year-old central midfielder.

Hyndman is a talented and promising young midfielder who can only benefit from playing regular first-team football between now and the end of the season. If there is a straight choice between Sunderland and Rangers, then the 21-year-old should choose the latter.

The USA international central midfielder spent the second half of last season on loan at Rangers in the Scottish Premiership and enjoyed a successful spell.

The 21-year-old knows what it takes to succeed at a demanding club like Rangers, and he is also popular among the Ibrox fans.

True, the standard of football in the Championship in England is much better than that in the Scottish top flight, but playing for a club who could end up in League One at the end of the season could be damaging for his confidence.

Given that Sunderland are struggling in the Championship at the moment, they will be fighting for points in each and every game, meaning that Hyndman may not grow the way he ideally should as a footballer.

Rangers manager Graeme Murty is a good coach who knows how to handle young talent, and working under him is going to help the Bournemouth midfielder develop his game.
