Rangers wide man Harry Forrester is reportedly wanted by Bolton Wanderers.

According to the Daily Record, Bolton Wanderers are interested in signing Rangers winger Harry Forrester, who is surplus to requirements under Pedro Caixinha.

Rangers have brought in nine summer signings under Caixinha, but focus is now turning to offloading fringe players, with the likes of Rob Kiernan, Andy Halliday, Joe Garner, Michael O’Halloran and Martyn Waghorn all allowed to go.

Waghorn completed a move to Ipswich Town on Monday, and another Rangers misfit could head back to the Championship before the transfer deadline later this month.

The Daily Record report that Championship club Bolton Wanderers are keen to sign Harry Forrester in the final month of the transfer window, and could offer him an escape route out of Ibrox.

It’s added that Burton Albion have yet to make an approach for Forrester, whilst Charlton Athletic failed to get a deal over the line, with Bolton now potentially leading the race for his signature.

Forrester, 26, has hit eight goals in 44 games for Rangers, but his fortunes at Ibrox have changed ever since Caixinha arrived as Mark Warburton’s replacement back in March.

Forrester and Warburton worked together at Watford and Brentford before reuniting at Ibrox in January 2016, but Caixinha hasn’t shared Warburton’s view on the former Aston Villa talent, freezing him out of the Rangers side.

A move away from Glasgow appears to be inevitable for Forrester, and with Bolton presenting themselves as a possible destination, he could head to the Macron Stadium to challenge the likes of Sammy Ameobi and Will Buckley under Phil Parkinson.
