Rangers boss Mark Warburton is looking to bring a loan player in to Ibrox come January.

Rangers have been hit with an injury blow recently. Mark Warburton’s side are to be without Niko Kranjcar for around six months after the Croatian suffered a knee injury.

In the wake of the injury Rangers’ boss has confirmed that the club will look to bring in a replacement for the playmaker on loan in January.

Many options have been put forward already but Tottenham Hotspur’s talented teenager Marcus Edwards might be the perfect solution.

The 17-year-old recently made his Spurs debut and has been compared to Lionel Messi in playing style by Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino.

Rangers and Warburton have a good relationship with Spurs. The likes of Nathan Oduwa and Dominic Ball have both experienced loan spells at Ibrox under the guidance of the current Rangers management team.

Edwards would undoubtedly benefit from playing regular football in the Scottish Premiership and his talent is such that he could improve the current Rangers team.

Spurs’ one concern may be that Edwards is too young for such a loan spell. But given his talent heading to Glasgow could be a brilliant way to help him mature.

Rangers will need an attacking midfielder in January and Edwards is a top option from the Premier League.

His arrival at Ibrox would be a great move for the Glasgow club and his parent side Spurs.
