Rangers are reportedly looking to bring Joe Worrall to Ibrox.
According to the Daily Record, Rangers are interested in bringing Nottingham Forest defender Joe Worrall to Ibrox as Steven Gerrard pursues further reinforcements.
Hearts striker Kyle Lafferty became signing number 12 for Rangers this summer by completing his move to Ibrox on Wednesday, and may even make his second debut for the club against Ufa tonight.
That doesn’t mean that manager Gerrard is done just yet though, and another centre back to compete with new arrivals Connor Goldson and Nikola Katic has been a top priority for the Gers boss.
With a move for Bournemouth’s Jack Simpson seemingly unlikely, and the likes of Jake Cooper, Curtis Tilt and Mark Beevers have all been linked with moves to Ibrox to no avail.
Now, the Daily Record report that Rangers have a new target in mind, as Gerrard has allegedly submitted an enquiry to take Nottingham Forest defender Joe Worrall on loan for the season.
Worrall is now behind Tobias Figueirdo, Danny Fox, Michael Dawson and new signing Michael Hefele in the pecking order, and Forest understandably want the 21-year-old to go out and play first-team football.
Rangers are now believed to be offering him a chance to head to Ibrox for the season, though it’s added that Aston Villa, Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion are also pursuing his signature.
Worrall stands at 6ft 4in tall and already has more than 70 senior appearances to his name as well as three caps for the England Under-21’s, and could be a major loan coup for Rangers if they can secure his signature.
