Russian club offers ‘lucrative’ deal for Rangers star Glen Kamara
An unnamed Russian Premier League club have made a “lucrative” offer to sign Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara, according to GiveMeSport.
The football news website reports that Arsenal remain interested in the 25-year-old Finland international and could make a move for him if they struggle to sign Ruben Neves from Wolves.
It is understood that Everton and West Ham are also keen on Kamara while the midfielder’s representatives have reportedly been offered a high-paying move to Russia.
Kamara out, Veerman in?
Kamara was one of Rangers’ best players last season as we won the Premiership title and reached the last-16 of the Europa League.
The ex-Arsenal and Dundee midfielder then did well at the European Championships with Finland, who came close to securing a shock qualification to the knock-out stages.
Steven Gerrard should be fighting as hard as he can to keep the core of his side together after such an impressive season last time out and Kamara is absolutely vital in the midfield.
However, one or two players might end up moving on this summer and if Kamara goes, at least the Light Blues have a potential replacement within their sights.
Glasgow Evening Times journalist Chris Jack has reported that Rangers are ready to pay £7million for Heerenveen midfielder Joey Veerman.
The 22-year-old isn’t as combative as Kamara but he’s an excellent playmaker who can sit deep and dictate the tempo of matches.
If Kamara goes for £10million and we sign Veerman for £7million, that’s a fair bit of money made and we may even end up improving the squad as a result.
It will not be easy to replace Kamara if he goes but Veerman sounds so good that we’d have full faith in him stepping up should a move for the Dutchman materialise.
