Rangers boss Steven Gerrard is trying to convince Joe Worrall to join.
Rangers are hoping to sign Nottingham Forest defender Joe Worrall, with The Daily Record reporting a loan move is imminent.
A switch to Ibrox would be a big step for Worrall, who has come through Forest’s academy.
Rangers boss Steven Gerrard is the perfect manager to deal with the dilemma Worrall has over his future.
Back in January Worrall expressed clearly that his long term aim is to stay with Forest, the club he supports.
He told BBC Sport: “I am committed to Forest. Everybody knows I’m a fan.
“I love playing for the club and don’t want to leave.”
If anybody can sympathise, then it is Steven Gerrard, who spent his entire career committed to Liverpool.
It may be hypocritical of Gerrard to urge him to walk out on his boyhood club having chosen not to do the same, but a loan deal could benefit all parties.
Gerrard will be able to understand the bond Worrall has to Forest and make sure Rangers go the extra mile to make him feel at home at Ibrox.
Whether the loan can translate into a permanent switch could be too much, but if Gerrard and Rangers really make Worrall comfortable then the Gers could stand a chance.
