Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers are reportedly interested in Tom Eaves.
Sky Sports has reported that Rangers are weighing up a move for English striker Tom Eaves.
The Gers are expected to terminate Umar Sadiq’s loan in January and send him back to Roma.
That would leave Rangers boss Steven Gerrard with only Alfredo Morelos and Kyle Lafferty as proven centre-forward options.
But, according to Sky Sports, Gerrard is ‘tracking’ the Gillingham hitman, who has netted 13 times in 17 starts for the League One side this season.
Eaves is out of contract with the English outfit in the summer, meaning that the Gills must sell him for a potential cut-price fee in January or risk losing him for free in six months.
The 26-year-old, who stands at 6’3, is of similar physical dimensions to Sadiq, but hopefully a lot more potent up front.
It hasn’t worked out for the Nigerian forward at Ibrox, having managed just the one Premiership appearance this season, and better competition for Morelos and Lafferty wouldn’t go amiss at all.
But time will tell whether Eaves is the man who Gerrard wants to challenge the Rangers duo for starting spots.
He has 28 goals in 57 league outings for Gillingham overall.
