Rangers reportedly won’t be luring Sonny Bradley to Ibrox this summer.

According to The Scottish Sun, Hearts are pursuing Plymouth Argyle defender Sonny Bradley – but Rangers hold no interest in rivalling them.

Bradley, 26, came up through the ranks with hometown club Hull City before spells with Portsmouth and Crawley Town, though he has really impressed with Plymouth.

The centre back, who stands at 6ft 5in tall, has been a mainstay of the Argyle side, but with his contract expiring this summer, he looks set to leave Home Park on a free transfer.

Now, The Scottish Sun report that Hearts are pursuing Bradley’s signature and hope to land him for free, having already struck a pre-contract agreement with Cambridge United striker Uche Ikpeazu.

Bradley would be another boost to Craig Levein’s defence alongside Christophe Berra and John Souttar, and another bargain signing for the Edinburgh side who need to kick on this summer.

The report also adds that whilst Bradley has been touted as a possible target for Rangers, new manager Steven Gerrard isn’t pursuing a deal for the centre back this summer.

Despite being available for free, Bradley seemingly isn’t a Rangers target ahead of next season, and he won’t be heading to Ibrox even though the Gers desperately need defensive reinforcements.
