Rangers are reportedly keen to lure Luca Connell to Ibrox.
Rangers have already tied up three summer signings, and more expected to join Steven Davies, Jake Hastie and Jordan Jones at Ibrox ahead of next season.
Steven Gerrard will be looking to close the gap to Celtic, having already chipped away ever so slightly, cutting last season’s 12-point gap to nine this term.
Rangers will have a host of targets in mind for the summer, and the Daily Mail report a new one has hit the radar, as the Gers are entering the race for Bolton Wanderers ace Luca Connell.
Bolton are desperate for cash, and with Connell out of contract this summer, the teenage midfielder will be on the move, earning the Trotters valuable compensation.
The 18-year-old has only made 12 senior appearances, but he really impressed in a dismal Trotters side, showing great tenacity in the middle of the park as well as quality on the ball.
An Irish youth international, Connell looks set for a huge future, and a move to join fellow Liverpudlian Gerrard at Ibrox may be hugely appealing.
Connell would be able to develop for the future and possibly become the player Rangers fans had hoped Jordan Rossiter would be, possessing that grit and determination in the engine room.
With Premier League clubs keen, Rangers face a battle for Connell. Yet that in itself sums up just what a coup he would be for Rangers, and even if he doesn’t make an immediate impact, he’d be a hugely exciting talent for the coming years at Ibrox.
