Graeme Murty’s Glasgow Rangers reportedly want to bring Tyler Roberts to Ibrox. Leeds United are claimed to be interested in the West Bromwich Albion youngster as well.

Leeds United are interested in signing Tyler Roberts from West Bromwich Albion in the January transfer window, according to Radio Yorkshire.

Roberts joined Walsall on loan from West Brom in the summer of 2017 until January 2018, and it has now been claimed that Leeds want him this month.

The Championship club are reportedly on the hunt for a striker and have identified the 19-year-old as a potential target.

Leeds, though, could face competition for Roberts. According to a recent report in The Daily Mail, both Rangers and Marseille are interested in signing the 19-year-old.

However, according to The Daily Mail, Scottish Premiership club Rangers and Ligue 1 outfit Marseille are interested in securing the services of the teenager when his current contract with West Brom runs out in the summer of 2018.

It has been reported that Rangers and Marseille would then have to pay just £300,000 as compensation fee.

Since Leeds reportedly want Roberts now, perhaps they could have an advantage and offer more than £300,000 to West Brom to prise him away now.
