The Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has already brought one of the striker’s former teammates to Ibrox.

Lyle Taylor of Charlton Athletic scores his teams second goal of the match during the Sky Bet Championship match between Barnsley and Charlton Athletic at Oakwell Stadium on August 17,...

Charlton fans are reacting on Twitter to reports linking Lyle Taylor with a string of clubs including Steven Gerrard’s Rangers.

Rangers are one of several sides keeping a close eye on Taylor‘s situation, according to Sky Sports.

Taylor starred alongside the now Rangers midfielder Aribo en route to promotion from League One last season, and continued his form into the Championship – where he has scored five goals in eight games in a campaign disrupted by injury.

But the 29-year-old – for whom Brentford are reported to have failed with bids of up to £4 million in the summer transfer window [London News Online] – is out of contract in six months’ time and looks to be on the move in 2020.

Whether that is on a free transfer at the end of the season or a cut-price move in January remains to be seen.

Joe Aribo of Rangers arrives ahead of the Scottish Premier League match between Hearts and Rangers at Tynecastle Park on 20 October, 2019 in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Aribo walked out on Charlton to join Rangers at the end of his own contract – a move which angered the Addicks boss Lee Bowyer.

And the following Charlton supporters are keen to avoid a repeat scenario.

The ****** wanted to go for more money anyway so we know hes not a Charlton man hes also got a big mouth as well ..so he can do one imo
