Rangers boss Gerrard has already brought three former colleagues with him to Ibrox.

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard is confident he can convince Dominic Solanke to follow him to Ibrox, reports the Daily Mirror’s live blog (Thursday 9th August, 05:31).

The former Liverpool captain and Under-18s coach has already brought a trio of Reds players past and present, Jon Flanagan, Ovie Ejaria and Ryan Kent, to Rangers.

And he is set to raid Anfield again for Solanke, according to the Daily Mirror.

Rangers have been credited with interest in Solanke throughout the summer, although the trail appeared to have run cold in recent weeks.

And while several other names have been mentioned in the meantime – including recent signing Umar Sadiq – Gerrard has actually seen his pool of strikers decrease with the departures of Jason Cummings, Kenny Miller, Michael O’Halloran, Joe Dodoo, Ryan Hardie and Eduardo Herrera.

Solanke has struggled to secure regular game time at Liverpool, although Jurgen Klopp’s side are unlikely to sanction permanent transfer for the 20-year-old former Chelsea player, according to the Daily Mirror.

But allowing him to continue his development under Gerrard at Rangers could appeal to the Reds boss.
