Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers are reportedly monitoring the red-hot marksman.

If Tom Eaves has the choice to join Rangers, he might well take it with both hands.

According to Sky Sports, Rangers are monitoring the Gillingham striker, who has 13 goals in 17 starts for the League One side this season.

That report claims that a number of English sides down South are willing to rival the Gers.

But Steven Gerrard’s presence at Ibrox may well be a deciding factor for the 26-year-old hitman.

Eaves, who was born in Liverpool, is a big fan of the Anfield club and he told The Daily Mail that he would’ve loved to have played alongside the Reds’ iconic midfielder.

He said just last month: “Steven Gerrard, playing alongside him in my home town of Liverpool especially. That would be pretty special.”

Considering that Gerrard is Rangers manager, you wonder whether the chance to play under the legendary player would be too hard to refuse for Eaves, who is out of contract next summer and therefore could be available on a cut-price deal in January.

The 38-year-old’s presence hardly means that Eaves would turn down Barcelona – hypothetically – if they came calling, but it does indicate that maybe, just maybe, Rangers are favourites over the likes of Preston and Blackburn.
