Rangers are reportedly keen on bringing Ben Woodburn to Ibrox.
Rangers have already been busy in the transfer window this month, but manager Steven Gerrard may yet have another deal in mind.
The Gers have not only brought in Steven Davis and Jermain Defoe on loan from Southampton and Bournemouth respectively, but also signed pre-contract agreements with Dundee midfielder Glen Kamara and Kilmarnock wide man Jordan Jones.
That’s two signings for now and two for the future, and Gerrard could yet use his links at Liverpool to land another Rangers signing before the end of January.
Ryan Kent and Ovie Ejaria followed Gerrard from Liverpool to Rangers over the summer, and whilst Ejaria’s loan has already been cancelled, the two clubs still have strong relations.
Now, The Scottish Sun report that Rangers are keen to take another Liverpool talent on loan, this time registering an interest in teenager Ben Woodburn.
The Welshman, 19, emerged as the next big thing for Liverpool two seasons ago, but struggled for playing time last season and flopped on loan at Sheffield United earlier this season.
Now back at Liverpool, Woodburn could go out on loan again, and Liverpool may feel that Gerrard is the best man to nurture him having got the best out of winger Kent.
Capable as a winger or number 10, Woodburn could be a versatile creative option for Rangers in the second half of the season, and Gers fans have been reacting to the rumour.
Supporters believe that Woodburn would be an ‘unbelievable’ signing and can kickstart his career like Kent, feeling that he may be the final piece of Gerrard’s jigsaw – though some would rather pursue Kent permanently than get in another Liverpool youngster on loan.
