Leeds, Aston Villa and Bolton are all interested in Cardiff winger Harris.
Cardiff City winger Kadeem Harris is a man in demand. Reports suggest that Leeds United, Aston Villa and Bolton Wanderers are all interested in the out-of-contract wide man.
The Sun report that the Championship trio are tracking the 25-year-old, after his breakthrough into Cardiff’s first team – which saw him score in the 4-2 win over Fulham and make his first start on the weekend against Brighton.
But his future at Cardiff is in major doubt. The former Wycombe, Barnsley and Brentford star is in the final months of his contract with Neil Warnock’s side, and the Bluebirds are in danger of losing him for nothing.
Indeed, if they are to pull in some money for Harris’ services, Cardiff will have to sell in January. That has seen Leeds, Villa and Bolton enter the fray for the exciting midfielder. But Rangers cannot let him stay in England without a fight.
Rangers are without Jamie Murphy for the entire season, while Ryan Kent has recently suffered a minor injury. But his absence left Steven Gerrard with just Daniel Candeias, Eros Grezda and Glenn Middleton out wide.
Middleton still remains largely inexperienced and a hectic season of Europa League and three domestic trophies could take its toll. Grezda has enjoyed one solid performance, scoring a brace against Motherwell, but still has a lot to prove.
It should convince Gerrard to bring in a new winger in January and Harris would be the perfect signing, as he is likely to be available on the cheap and has proven his quality by scoring in the Premier League.
Landing a player such as Harris, ahead of the likes of Leeds and Villa is also a statement of intent from Gerrard and Rangers. He could be key in helping Rangers keep up with Old Firm rivals Celtic.
