Glasgow Rangers are reportedly keen to bring Kieran Dowell to Ibrox during the January transfer window.
Rangers may now be top of the Scottish Premiership, but Steven Gerrard appears very keen to enjoy a busy January to give the Gers the best chance to end the club’s wait for some silverware.
The latest player linked with the Gers is Everton midfielder Kieran Dowell, with the Daily Mirror reporting on their live transfer blog (03/12; 15:09) that Gerrard wants to sign the youngster on loan.
Dowell is undoubtedly one of the brightest talents looking to break through at Goodison Park. The attacking midfielder scored nine goals during a loan spell with Nottingham Forest last season, and he could be a fantastic addition to the Gers squad next month.
And based on reports from The Sun on Sunday (14/10; page 61) back in October, it would perhaps be fair to suggest that Gerrard’s men have a great chance to get a deal done.
That report stated that Dowell was one of the Everton youngsters who was keen to leave Merseyside on loan in January.
Given that he has not played a single minute for Marco Silva’s side since that report emerged, you would be forgiven for assuming that he will be jumping at the chance to join Gerrard’s side upon hearing the reports.
Rangers appear ready to set up a title race this season and could potentially offer Europa League football during the second-half of the campaign depending on how they get on their final group clash, against Rapid Vienna.
And given that the Gers are on the front foot in most of the games they play, it could be a fantastic opportunity for Dowell to get the minutes he craves under his belt as he looks to catch the Toffees’ eye.
