West Ham United are reportedly interested in luring Glasgow Rangers star Josh Windass from Ibrox to the Premier League.

Josh Windass of Rangers looks dejected after the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership match between Rangers and Celtic at Ibrox Stadium on April 29, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

According to The Scottish Sun, West Ham United are one of several clubs interested in Rangers playmaker Josh Windass.

The 24-year-old is said to be keen on leaving Ibrox this summer and surely big-spending West Ham would interest the Rangers star, who netted 18 goals in all competitions last season.

However, the Gers, according to The Scottish Sun, would only get around £3 million and perhaps it makes more sense to try and get a player in return – on loan or a permanent deal.

If the Irons are receptive to that motion, should Steven Gerrard try and lure Jordan Hugill to Glasgow?

The 26-year-old only joined the East Londoners for £10 million [BBC Sport] in January but he looks set to leave after failing to make the grade in the Premier League.

Leeds United were one of the clubs touted [The Sun] but the Championship side look more interested in Matej Vydra and Patrick Bamford at the moment.

Steven Gerrard is unveiled as the new manager of Rangers football Club at Ibrox Stadium on May 4, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Options could be limited for Hugill and maybe the prospect of playing under Gerrard in an ambitious team like Rangers might appeal to the English hitman.

Plus, Gerrard could do with the additional firepower. Alfredo Morelos might have broken his duck under the Blues manager in midweek, but he didn’t look convincing in two games against Shkupi prior to that, while Umar Sadiq, signed on a season-long loan from Roma, was not even brought to Croatia for that Europa League clash on Thursday.

If West Ham are genuinely interested in Windass then using him to sign Hugill in some capacity might be a great option.
