The Rangers winger looks set to leave the club this summer, just a year after joining.
Grezda has not been included in any of the Gers’ pre-season plans and the paper report he is on the verge of an exit, despite signing a four-year contract just last summer.
He’ll join Kyle Lafferty as one of Gerrard’s 2018 signings who will be heading out out the door early.
The Rangers boss has laid out his reasons why he thinks the move hasn’t worked out for the Albanian international.
He reckons fitness problems and the player’s struggles to adapt to life at Ibrox significantly impacted on his ability to play at the standard that Gerrard requires.
As quoted by The Scottish Sun, the 39-year-old said: “I think it has been frustrating for everyone. He came with an injury and found it very hard to shake that off and come back in a good place.
“He had other niggles and I think he has found the whole game here and demands here tough, he has been honest and open about that.”
The Ibrox boss goes on to suggest that the 24-year-old can still show he has ability at another club, in another league, playing under a different manager.
Grezda has never looked convincing in a Rangers shirt and only managed to contribute two goals and a single assist in 17 appearances.
If the club can recoup a decent fee for him, having reportedly paid £2m for his services (The Daily Record), then there’ll have been no harm done.
Where could the winger end up?
The Scottish Sun claimed earlier this week that Ligue 1 sides Brest and Dijon are both interested in bringing him to France, which could be the kind of new start that Gerrard thinks he needs to reach his potential.
If multiple clubs are indeed interested then that could be good news for Rangers too given it’s a situation which could drive his transfer value up.
