Rangers are reportedly confident of bringing Tony Weston to Ibrox.
Rangers face a level of uncertainty over the future of Alfredo Morelos this summer, with the Colombian no doubt set to attract major interest.
The Gers do have Jermain Defoe, whilst Florian Kamberi is turning in all the right performances in an effort to win a permanent move from Hibernian.
Still, Rangers are likely to look at other strikers, and The Sun suggested over the weekend that they’re in the race to sign Blackpool attacker Tony Weston.
Everton and Leeds United are thought to be keen too, but Rangers are described as being ‘quietly confident’ they can win the battle for his signature.
Weston is only 16, but has already made his Blackpool debut having featured in an FA Cup tie against Maidstone United back in December.
Born in Liverpool, Weston is being backed for a huge future, and the League One side face a real battle trying to keep him if he’s offered the chance to join Steven Gerrard at Ibrox.
Now, Blackpool fans are taking to Twitter to react to the rumours, urging owner Simon Sadler to sort out a new deal for the striker.
Some feel he would be better off moving on given Blackpool’s recent poor history with young players, and are even baffled as to why he isn’t playing more regularly if some of these top teams want him.
