Defoe is looking for a move after failing to win a place in Bournemouth’s team this season.

Rangers boss Steven Gerrard played alongside Defoe for England and knows all about the quality the striker possesses.

The Scottish Sun‘s report says Gerrard will ‘push the boat out’ to get Defoe to Ibrox if he believes a deal can be done.

SkySports report Defoe has been told he can leave Bournemouth and find a move where he can play regular football.

Defoe would join a Rangers side in the thick of a title race as the Gers bid to end Celtic’s dominance.

A move for Defoe would show Rangers really feel they can capitalise on their league position and win the title this season.

The 36-year-old’s wage demands will be the big stumbling block to any deal, with the striker going to have to take a pay cut to join.

Rangers are already closing in on midfielder Steven Davis, and the signings of two veterans would give the dressing room an immediate boost.
