The Rangers manager Steven Gerrard is said to want the youngster on loan at Ibrox.

Everton fans are reacting to reports linking Kieran Dowell with a move to Steven Gerrard’s Rangers.
The Daily Mirror claims the Rangers manager is ‘considering a shock loan bid’ for Dowell, as he looks to add some creativity to his Ibrox ranks.
Dowell has only played twice for Everton this season, totalling 135 minutes of EFL Cup football.
And a loan to Rangers could appeal to the 21-year-old, who scored 10 goals and created five on loan to Nottingham Forest last season.
But how do those of an Everton persuasion feel about sending him to a club managed by a Liverpool legend? (A: Surprisingly well where most are concerned.)
The on loan Rangers defender, Joe Worrall, and the former Ibrox winger, Barrie McKay, were teammates of Dowell at the City Ground.
The Lancastrian’s childhood idol was a certain Mikel Arteta, the Basque former central midfielder who enjoyed successful playing spells at Rangers and Everton before taking up his current role as Manchester City’s assistant coach.

Would the Everton talent be a good addition for Rangers?
